Bristle worms ??????

so.......i was checking out my 35 gallon today and saw all these little worms LOTS of them. they are relatively small, they are pink and black, with little white fuzzy stuff on them ( feet maybe ?)

just wanted to know if they are bristle worms ........or if they are a problem

 

Get a wrasse (sixline) --- will help keep under control....

 

Thanks !! OMAR

 

How many are "lots?" I dislike adding critters to our tanks that eat bristleworms because they are a necessary evil. If you have ALOT of worms, then chances are, you're feeding your fish too much which caused a population explosion of the worms. Get a trap to remove the "excess" worms and reduce feedings.

totally agree w/amcarrig, bristle worms are a great part of a cleanup crew but they do need to be kept in check
