ohhh, thats gotta hurt!

I saw my YMG chewing on a small bristle worm once... dont know if he choked it down or not.

[Glennrf38]

I thought that the bristles were a good thing???

[kellehar]

blue spotted puffers, or any of the dwarf puffers will eat the bristle worms, thats how i keep my population down.

Me too, unless the population gets out of control. My tanks don't have enough of them... :neutral:

My yellow coris wrasse eats them.

[AJ_77]

the question is, "what eats them" - not, "are they good?"

copperbanded butterflyfish eat them. so do larger cleaner shrimp. and I think coral banded shrimp as well.


btw, they are good - just ugly. some predation keeps them honest, and hiding more. :biggrin:

Yeah, I switched ISP's and don't run my own webserver anymore so my old pics aren't online now.

I found the magenta/strawberry dottyback to be good at eating bristleworms (but they'll probably eat all of the other worms and pods as well).

My old Arrow Crab would use one claw to stuff his mouth full while grabbing another bristle worm with the other.

WOW! - everything you wanted to know about Bristle Worms but were afraid to ask - what an informative place this Canreef.


Thanks everyone :smile:
