Bristle worms aren't bad they actually help and clean your tank

You can train them with a laser pointer. No, really.

Bunnee, I can't tell if you're a genius or if you need some help.

Yes.

I bought a "burning laser" off ebay. Takes special batteries and has a lock on the end. I thought I would rid myself of apistasia with it. Nope, they don't even flinch.
So, what else can it do?
Nothing to algae.
Nothing to apistasia.
Will burn human flesh.
Makes bristle worms nervous.

There you have it. Another afternoon shot and I still have glass anemones and a sore hand.

For my next trick, I plan to glue my hand to a rock inside my aquarium. Oh, done that already.

See I knew you're a genius. You need to get like twenty of them laser pens and start a bristleworm circus. That is like a million dollar idea. You're welcome!

Yeah the bristle worm traps are really easy to make just a pop bottle and straws most people swear by them with a piece of raw crab meat in there and you're good to go

Do I close the bottle with a cap? Or just leave that part open ?

May I ask where it sends you? That's the second time someone has said something when I've linked to Reef2Reef's articles. When I click it, it sends me to the correct page.... so odd.

Put a cap on it, check in a day or two and bet u have some worms in there.
