Brianemone Posted September 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 the general opinion seems to be that they are good as a part of a cleanup crew eating poop and so forth, anyother opinions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Ah, bristleworms! Yeah, the current conensus is they're a good part of a cleanup crew. Used to be they were considered evil. I give it another 2 years before they're considered evil again. The worms I've got that I'm curious about, they're just little white worms very thin but up to 3-4" long. Build themselves little tubes out of sand and other bits of debris and spend their lives waving around their tubes. I'd say they're a tubeworm because they build tubes, but aren't most filter feeders? These definitely aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 I would never rate the ones that get big as a good thing. Get a wrasse, that will take care of the little bastards...at least during the day. Aren't they the ones that eat snails, attack clams and do other nasty things.

Ira Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 They don't seem to attack anything, just scavengers. Might change when they get big though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
