Are we talkig about the little feather dusters in tubes? I've never seen "too many". Got any pics? If you don't want them, Hillside would probably trade you something for them.

I have at a LFS in Abby. It looks messed up, if you can believe it :eek: . I've got them growing like no tommorow. A few I really like but a complete invasion sux.
But to get back on track, a Copperband Butterfly will do the trick if your tank is large enough to house one. Also keep in mind he'll eat them all :neutral: .
A lot of crabs eat tube worm tubes. Including some of the so called cleanup crew. Personally, I think tube worms = water purification (or is it called nutrient reduction.)

Yes, I think once you have more life forms, they will eat them up. I used to have them everywhere. :smile:

If only I had this problem. I love tube worms, the forest Jon had in his old tank behind the rocks was just the coolest.

THanks Quinn! I hope they survive the move.
Hi three dawgs....tell your wife these tube worms are also called feather dusters!! The name sounds better and she then might take a liking to them. I myself love them.
