Bristle Worms!!!

[miyags]

No, the worms will only eat the dead flesh from the clam, they won't kill it.
They are great scavengers in our systems, usually they will make a dead fish disappear, and have the owner thinking it was them that killed the fish, but in this case thats not true, these guys just don't jump living creatures.
There are different worms that will claim death to living critters, but not the bristleworm

I've read that on every scavenger there is, that they only eat dead flesh. Ive seen diffrent.

Feather worms are also in their diet so if you have any in the tank beware.

I pulled around 15 of the bigger fireworks for my tank last night. I saw some more. I also sucked or trapped out a few 100 regular bristles. I have way too many and need to thin the herd down.
