    I thought I had 1 big bristleworm (fireworm variety) and now I'm seeing them all over my tank at night. My 45 gallon tank's been set up for about 6 months. I'm assuming they came with my live rock unless they multiply fast. They're living in the crannies of my live rock and they hide the minute even a red light hits them. I have 2 green chromies, Bruce - my clownfish, a yellow tang, a scooter blennie, 2 peppermint shrimp, an emerald crab, and numerous snails. What can I add to get rid of these guys, that won't kill my shrimps and snails? I have no idea how many I have, but it's too many for me to be comfortable with..and way more than I saw a month ago.

    Any help would be great. Thanks!:-/
