Magic Kiwi's Tank Journal Thread

[Dearth]

Vast majority of bristle worms are harmless to the system and are effective CuC and generally nothing to worry about unless you inadvertently grab or brush one.

My tank is loaded with them I am not a fan of them just because I find them ugly repulsive creatures.

If they are greyish and flat looking or grey with a red tip they are harmless to your system

It is this. Thanks for the piece of mind. If I do get tired of them there is a wrasse that eats them isn't there?

Most wrasses will munch on them but only a few actively seek them out as a food source

Arrow crabs will eat them as a primary food source but most likely will attack and eat critters and feather dusters that you want to keep too once the worm population is decimated

Coral banded shrimp will eat bristle worms too but not always and may attack and eat other smaller critters in your tank as well
