Pony Predators?
Hi guys. I have a 6 gallon dwarf seahorse tank that I would like to add some bristleworms to from my reef tank’s DSB. My question is this-Do these worms have any potential to harm my little ponies? They are not large, they are the typical ones found in home tanks, I would guess….orange/red and an inch in size. I am using a DSB for the dwarf tank as well, so I want to load it with the appropriate fauna. I know they are deposit feeders that feed in the sandbed, but I’m wondering if they might get a bit frisky at night and try to take down a dwarf. I assume they are not active predators, or they wouldn’t be so welcomed in a reef, so I am thinking I am safe. < I have always looked at them as benign, "earthworm-like" creatures...I suppose that the potential exists...Slow moving fishes like seahorses can be potentially vulnerable...I'd be cautious...> I have searched quite a bit and I haven’t seen anything about them preying on live creatures at night,
