Hi all,

I have just noticed that i have an influx of what i think are Bristle Worms ( well they are pink and purple in colour and look like our common rag worm)
They are starting to get approx 4+ inches long and they come out of every nook and cranny of the live rock every time i feed.

The question is are they safe in the tank if not what is the best way of getting rid of them?

Oh by the way i have no corals yet (fish only tank) as i am still learning about water chemistry etc.

Sorry incase this question has already been asked by someone and has been answered but i couldn't see a thread on the site.

Thanks,

Ant

Once thought of as a pest to rid the tank of at all costs.

Now thought of as a good part of the clean up crew. Worth having IMO but I still remove massive ones!
I suggest a change of plan... Let the wookie win

As above except I used to leave massive ones in as well :)

Cheers

Tankless at the moment :-(

Hopefully not long to wait
