So I know the saying nothing good happens quickly in a reef aquarium.
In my hurry to setup a 32 biocube I got some live rock from my LFS. Well come to find out that rock is full of fire worms and other bristle worm. I have a few fish and some frags in the tank already (2 months in). The other night my wife asked what is that red and white stripped worm sticking out of the rock. Then the next day I notices another type of bristle worm as well. I have put a single arrow crab into the tank but it does not really like the area where the worms are. So the question is now is what do i do. Should I set up and cycle a few small tanks for the fish and frags or just hope the crab does the work and removes all the worms. If multiple small tanks the will all have dry rock and new water so it will be weeks before they are ready.
