I've got WAY TOO MANY BRISTLE WORMS!

[Jason mack]

Henry Jekyll was a perfect gentleman, between nights out on the town. Just sayin'...

I'm pretty sure hed developed some sort of cocktail too achieve this ....if I ever see my 6 line in his lab mixing drinks ....I'll panic

 

[Scotty Buttons]

Wow that's impressive. Ive seen people selling those on eBay for good money.

Put a little food in a balled up pantyhose leave overnight. May have to do it for or several nights for that many worms.

Hmmm....now I'm thinking...

I'll post updates here and on my build thread. I'll be setting a trap tonight (and for probably a number of nights to come), but I'll probably end up buying a predator or 2...or 3...

Yikes - that's more than a colony ! A couple of arrow crabs will clean this up for you in no time

"This guy, Callogobias hasselti, is currently in my nano and he cleared out the Bristleworms in a few short weeks"

Googled that ...a type of fish comes up[emoji848]?

 

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

My weapons of worm destruction have been created. Mwahaha!

They're not pretty, but I think they'll do the trick. I chose starbucks cups over bottles bc they'll be easy to empty (just pop the lid off and dump em!), and bc I had these lying around from earlier today.

I ordered this from Amazon. It work. My tank looked almost as bad as yours. Good luck!

Arrow crab will work great. I’m looking forward to your pics tomorrow. Happy hunting.

See what he says about having these beneficial critters and why you might have too many.

He also sells live Mysid. Just go to his eco-building section..
Only caveat is he only ships in Australia.

Yes, it's a cryptic type fish that reaches nearly 3". I originally mistyped (genus should be 'Callogobius') and I've seen the species name spelled either 'hasselti' or 'hasseltii':

As can be seen, they do love worms!

Boxer shrimps good solution....

 

[EHerbert]

I'd get an Arrow crab and the Goatfish, and every night, place a piece of shrimp in the open, turn the lights out and wait. Then, net a batch of them at a time until you get the population under control. Then you could return the Goatfish and let the Arrow crab manage the rest. They are good CUC but get unslightly when overpopulated.

I hear orchid dottybacks like to snack on bristle worms. I sure haven’t seen any since I added my orchid.

fwiw I have one of these and two halichoeres wrasses and a springer damsel for good measure and I've never seen a bristleworm or fireworm or worm of any kind, so I think some or all them are keeping them away. idk if those fish would work with whatever your stocklist is, but maybe a thought.

those arrow crabs creep me out almost as much as the bristleworms

 

[Terry aka Cr@sh]

I have this app that can control an army of soldier arrow crabs at your command......... and it looks like your gonna need an "ARMY" !
