Lights off he’s gonna come out. You know where it’s probably gonna happen. Place a tube for him to crawl into. He will. Then remove it. They make traps as well. But watch your tank. They always come out lights off and it never takes long.
Study your tank at night. They aren’t that hard to remove. The big ones you don’t want. But bristle worms aren’t a sign of a bad tank. I like to get rid of the big ones as well especially in a Nano.
Blues off no moon phases. You’ll know when the sucker comes out. You could place some pellets in tube too. But as long as you got it right where he comes out. He’s gonna go in like it’s rock work.
I hate to say it most of us dip corals and do things to prevent invasions. It’s impossible. I don’t care what you do it’s population management and the big suckers. You will get them either way as theirs always one little ******* that survives lol. They are good for a few things tho.
It’s nature. Best part of reefing. We recreate it. Nanos yeah I’d remove larger ones.
