Alright, I have had many threads about a few bristle worms in my tank, well I tryed to get the big one (22") a few times with a 3hr fresh water dip on the rock... but he survied some how... also kept the rock in a seprate tank for a few days trying to lure it out... didn't work. So, my girlfriend is in my room yesturday and sees it wraping itself around my Midas Blenny, yeah.. like a snake. This would also make sense becuase the blenny has had small prickers in it for the last two weeks and we couldn't figure out why. So moral of the story is... the worm has decided to move in with my blenny. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, midas blennys are known for backing into a hole in a rock. Mine is always in the same rock, when my tank had a problem I had to remove the rock with him in it... and when I had to treat him in a QT tank the rock had to go with him because thats where he goes when you put your hand in the tank. So I don't know what to do, I can't get him out of the rock to get the worm... right now I dont even know if the worm is in there, I know bristleworms are good for cleaning up stuff in your aquarium... but this isn't a small brisle worm, its very large, search my posts for something called "is it dead" I have pics of it, and I just recently posted a picture on another thread. Any advice would be greatly appretiated on how to remove these large worms (theres another one thats around 12") and I have a 6" one in a 2.5gallon tank. I bought a trap, which they don't care for... I've tied a frozen shrimp with a string and put it in a tube trying to get the worm to crawl into the tube, so i could lift it out... Ive tried making a trap with a plastic bottle... no sucess. The worm I have in a 2.5 gallon tank, was thrown in there after I found it... and the water had been in that tank for around 3months... with no circulation or heater... and it sayed in there like that for 6days, before i rememberd that it was in there, and now I feed it and it has a heater (no filter still) they are tough guys. I don't want to kill the worms if I don't have too... they look neat, if you can find my pics, and I'd put them in their own tank.. maybe with a mantis???????? But I need them out right now! :mad2
