Bristle worm?

[BadSquishy]

I don't disagree that bristle worms are probably a great part of the CUC. The way I think about it though is even though I know birds eat spiders and spiders catch bugs, I keep neither in my house and I go the extra mile to try to keep the spiders out. Bristleworms in the tank = Spiders in my house. Both no bueno.

While I have no issue with regular bristles, I feel this. I get you.

Why? What happens when you poke them? ;Nailbiting

Pain, and bristles imbedded in your skin.

ooooh.... you mean poking them with your finger. I thought if you poked them they shoot out all their spikes or something ;Joyful

Nope, they just break off in your skin.

No, just a bristle worm. Fireworms are generally either bright red or white (or a combination)
