WHAT EATS BRISTEL WORMS AND IS REEF SAFE?

[BadRoma1]

i don't like bristle worms and i did see them catch pods too. but interesting thing that i have noticed is that fire bristle worms don't hide, like a regular bristle worms, but eat corals right in front of you. don't get an arrow crab anyway, i don't think it's a good crab. i hear they catch small fish and kill shrimps. i would rather have bristle worms.

Here is a pic of my one and only bristle worm. Has to be at least 8" long now. How long do these things live anyway?

I'd be surprised if you didn't have more living in the rocks and the sand.

mine just pop their heads out from under the rocks to grab passing food but appart from that i never see them.

do fish eat these worms if they get a chance?

Also, will the emerald green crab eat these worms?

 

[BadRoma1]

traps work better than anything else if you want to get rid of the most
