What eats tube worms????

i think there called tube worms but there like little feather dusters. i know there good for the tank but there starting to over take all of my live rock. what can i do about them

 

There are a few snails that will eat them. I'm not sure if the Bumblebee Snails that are sold to the hobby will eat them, but some of their relatives do, so they might. Here's an interesting thread from another reef sit about some nudibranchs that will eat them:

Is there a problem with them taking over the rock really? They don't sting anything, and I'm pretty sure any coral will just overtake them if it needs to.
There are some fish that eat them, I think some wrasses, not sure what kind exactly though.

 

no its not a big deal just kinda ugly with so many

 

The Red Coris Wrasse loves tube worms.

 

Most halichores wrasses will eat these.

Christmas and melanurus will for sure.

I have a lot of these as well, but I take them as a good sign.

 

Even Psuedocheilinus spp. wrasses, such as the Six Line will eat them.

 

in soviet russia tube worm eats you.

~Will.

 

How dare you try to compare Tube worm to Sacrificial Damsel!!!!

 

That's Veery Niiiice!

I wonder how big of a fish we need to eat the soviet russian tube worms?
