Critter Concern?

[themcfreak]

Stuck my head under the tank and took a good look at the fuge today. Saw a ton a little pods, and my macro growing, and so on and so forth, and it made me happy. Then I saw all the bristle worms around the edge. Nothing to be worried about? Fact of life that they are in my system? Or is there anything to do about it? I have not seen any in display tank, only several in the fuge. Thanks!

Good scavengers. Esp helpful if you have sand bottom. Stir it up and eat uneaten food and detritus.

No sand in fuge. just a few rocks and macro

Still OK. Will clean up bottom for you. If you feel there are too many, you can add a wrasse or arrow crab to keep them in check.

They don't hunt or kill anything. Just keep things cleaned up. Can get quite big and multiply if you feed heavy, but like mentioned above, six line for little guys, arrow crab for any zize really.
