    So I got a Arrow Crab and he really sucks at killing bristle worms. He has been in there for about a month now. I wanted a Leopard Wrasse but was told they bully too much. Please look at my sig and tell me what would be good. I really am getting really large worms now. Maybe that is why the crab won't go after them. They are too big for him! Plus I don't want to over load my tank so it has to be small. I am also waiting to be able to put in a dragonet in about 1 year so have to save room for him.

    trap for B. worms

    Why don't you just get a trap for them..??
    Most LFS sales them. I've heard they work..
    And save the space for that fish you want later..


    Later, Larry
