    Hey everyone :),

    So i generally dont like bristleworms, mainly because they look DISGUSTING! So i got a beautiful and colorful fish, the 'Bicolor Dottyback' who eats the babies of these worms. However, as many people say, they are a beneficial part of your CUC... But this guy is enormous (7-8 cm!). I've heard that they have some sort of liking for clams, and i dont want to pay alot of money for a beautiful clam, while this disgusting and rather wierd creature eats it when i get it in my tank xD Have any of you guys experience with them eating clams or scallops? Or dont they do anything? NOTE: Its not a fireworm, its not red at all, but rather greyish.

    They are beneficial, if you dislike the HUGE ones take them out. They won't eat Tridacna clams IIRC.
