i knew this was coming, lol.

they were in a section of my sump that will now be vacuumed regularly, so i wanted to clear them out. basically to reduce the chances of my fingers getting "bristlewormed" when i've got my hands in the sump!

hmmm, it didnt even occur to me to relocate them...
i just instinctively toss them every time i come across one.
FWIW theres thousands more where those came from!
i know they are excellent detrivores, in the past when i've had a fish die, theres never been a carcass left for me to identify.
