I'm curious to know if praziquantel kills bristle worms and/or spaghetti worms. Over the years, I've always read "may kill bristle worms or feather dusters" but I'm wondering if anyone has any direct experience with this. I personally wouldn't expect praziquantel, an antihelminthic primarily used for flat worms, to kill bristle worms, but I wanted to know if anyone has direct experience with this. There are many worms that praziquantel doesn't kill (not referring to "strains of praziquantel resistant flatworms").
 
I've dosed by 2nd tank I used for new arrivals with Prazi many times, and it's covered in bristle worms that come out when I feed. It's really disgusting actually and I dread sticking my hand in there, some are multiple inches long.
 
Thanks a lot. That's what I was looking for and what I was expecting.
