Kenya tree being eaten up by bristle worms

[IE Reefer]

I was just informed by my family, that my candy tree is dying and sweet enough by bristle worms. It seems that three out of the four stocks of the Kenya tree are being eaten up and only one is looking healthy. I’m not too sure what to do since the last time I checked on it. Everything looked fine. I’m currently on my way back home. I’m going to do more inspections on the tank in the health of the tank and I’ll post an update shortly but currently I’m just brainstorming ideas. Please let me know what you guys think and what I should do.

I really doubt, the Bristle Worm is eating a Kenya Tree. I have a lot of both, and it’s never happened. Sometimes my Kenya Trees will be Retracted, which is normal for them, since they are related to leather corals. I’ve had them open on one side of the tank and retracted on the other side.

This^^^ same for me

R u sure they’re bristleworms and not fireworms?

Sorry for the late update; I think it was just a false alarm. I know they act super droopy and pale when they shed, and the other stalk must've completely detached from the rest of the colony for that to happen, but I'm not sure why the bristle worms were out then. The last time I checked on them, they were a bit bigger, so I'm just gonna hope for the best.

Yeah, they're bristle worms. I have so many that at this point, I have an infestation of them, lol. But they eat up any discarded food which is a plus.
