pic

i should have taken one but i scooped him out and flushed him pretty quick he had tenticals

lol k well if u find another one take a pic or go on google and look up flatworms and then look at the pics and if it looked like that then it was flatworm also do you have any irritation going on right now like in your hand?

no but u never put my hand in the water

Ya, because bristleworms can set off a bristle into your hand causing irritation

i never put my hand in the water, and its not a bristleworm, its flatworm im pretty sure

Ok good

Hey Chase how did you manage to catch him?
I have a big bristle worm in my tank and I been trying to catch him.

Im trying to avoid chemicals, so ive tried a FW dip and it killed everything almost BUT him.

I also tried shooting him with pure salt water but hes real fast so I dunno if that even would do anything...

Thought it was a gimmick. But I got a bristle worm trap from Oceans Aquatics. Actually works pretty good. I've watched a bristle worm approximetely 14" long get trapped by it. I don't know if they sense danger at all but they shrink down to about 2" when trapped.
