    ive spotted a bristle worm here and there, but none that were big enough to threaten a fish. i have 2 other fish that sleep inside LR crevices during the night, and they have been just fine. not to mention my sixline wrasse likes to hunt bristle worms, ive seen him rip a bristle worm out of a rock.

    i guess there is nothing i can really do to change his mind. he will just have to realize that he is bottom dweller sooner or later.

    Yea, it seems that way. Have you lifted the rock in which he made his home? He can always make a new one.

    I actually just had a friend of mine tell me about his cleaner shrimp and watchmen goby like 2 days ago. Apparently at night the cleaner started picking on the watchmen, and eventually ate him. Maybe that's what happened with yours??
