That is a big bristle worm. he would get evicted. Good Luck with them.Well crap. I already have like 10 of them. I don’t want anymore.
Now that's what I'm talking about flush them out and eradicate them. Good job.I bought a yellow cortis wrasse and he ate all 60 of my worms in a week! (60 is an estimate)
I had night mares about giant bristle worms last night. Randomly - I haven’t seen any in my new tank - knock on wood. It was attacking my fish. And I grabbed tweezers and pulled him out. And I then I woke up. Not that that helps any... but good timing?
Not to add to any future nightmares but have you tried removing a large one with tweezers? You can feel them fighting the tweezers, they’re very strong! I’ve done it in the past and thinking about it still creeps me out which is why my large one can stay in my tank!
I know there ugly but I'm not sure why everyone wants to eradicate them from there tanks. There one of the best scavengers in a reef tank. If you really wanna get rid of them I've seen people selling them on ebay.
Only issue I’ve had with them is when they get big they can knock coral over that isn’t attached to rock.
Pretty much describes every member of my clean up crew. I’m convinced that there is a bar or nightclub somewhere in my tank and they are all just stumbling home and knocking things over at 3AM.
There is nothing else in my tank that inflicts painful stings 100% of the time if I touch it. I can't understand why people like them. There are plenty of other detritus feeders out there!You can make a trap using a bottle or capped pvc if you want to get rid of some. But I honestly don’t understand why people want to completely eradicate them. When they get big, by all means get them out, but we put things in our tanks that can nuke the entire tank (anemones, cucumbers, etc.), but everyone wants to get rid of one of the best detritus cleaners there is.
Ok so I have found a pretty good way to get them out and it's super simple.....Well crap. I already have like 10 of them. I don’t want anymore.
