    This morning I turned on my refugium lights to find out there are bristle worms in it. Most of what I have read that they should be removed. I also read that if they are small they don't do any damage and are good scavangers. I am not sure. Will they breed and infest my dt. Maybe they are already there? I could dump the refugium and start it over with out to much hastle. Advice please.

    the amount of food they have pretty much determines how many of these you have...

    I completely ignore them.

    Oh yeah. They are in all likelihood already in the DT... they're just a natural part of the eco system
