Bristle worms good or bad?
Dear PFK Me and my dad have delved into the world of marine fishkeeping. The tank has been set up for about 7 months. Water parameters are perfect and the inhabitants that include a pair of juvenile percula clowns a cleaner shrimp and a handful of hermits have been doing brilliantly. The problem is we decided to buy some soft corals seen as we had ploughed a lot of time and money into the venture and have spent the money on more than adequate lighting (4xT5’s). After following some advice from one source we chose a sample with a healthy crop of mushroom corals on and even some nice hitch hikers including 2 Zoanthids once these were added for a day some other hitch hikers were spotted. Here is question 1 Bristle worms so far I’ve caught 3 small half red half black bristle worms bout 5mm long. I’ve had a lot of conflicting advice. On one hand declare war on the bristle worm and the other saying they can be extremely dangerous. < They are fine, and even beneficial. I wouldn't remove them.
