    Hi everyone,

    Do any of you guys keep gigantic bristleworms in your tank? I got a pretty big one, that is atleast 22cm long now. This guy is very cool, but i'm thinking of removing him, due to the fact that it creeps me out that such a big thing can fit in my little 20 gallon nano reef. I would like to hear if you just keep them the way they are, and just dont care or if you remove them if they get too big. I mean they dont hurt anything, the only eat leftover food, sift the sand, and clean up the mess... Right?

    that's all my bristle worms ever did...
    I think they are extremely beneficial to the tank and can be an integral part of your cleanup crew.

    If he's not harming anything, then he's probably helping :)

    Bristleworms are reef safe and a great addition to your cleanup crew. Ohhh, hey wait there Mr. Bistleworm. What are you doing to that coral?!? What, stealing food from the stomach of an ailing chalice? Lol?
