I saw a lot of discussion about this bristle worm on this forum, * some say need to take out, some say its ok as it scavenge uneaten foods, * some say it eat anemone or fish, some say it does not disturb corals and fishes Probably I saw one or two worms crawling under my LR but I find it troublesome to capture it. Some recommends to flush it out but sacrificing bacteria although bacteria can come back few more weeks. Maybe this is the time to rescape the tank, flush all worms and crabs, but it looks like starting from zero again. Its my first reef tank and it pretty hard feeling to redo again. It is worrisome for the fish and corals already in there. So if you are me, what are you going to do? -
Hi, I have read quite some threads about reefers having bobbit worms (Eunice aphroditois) in their tanks attacking livestocks and having trouble getting these worms out of their live rocks. It seems like this worm can be quite common when they hitch-hike in live rocks, but does anyone know where can I get the worms? Is it sold anywhere here? Also if anyone has caught a bobbit worm, whether dead or alive, could you PM me? I'm working in a research group where we study marine crustaceans and cephalopods, and I'm interested in doing some research on this worm. Not much information have been available for these worms as compared to many other marine species, so it would be great if we could get some to work on to reveal more insights about them. I'm very hopeful to receive informative and helpful feedback! I am a new tank owner myself and will be glad to learn more and make new reefer friends! Cheers, Eva
