3ft........ !

Wow..your tank is just like an ocean !

Is it typo error? 3cm or 3 inches sibo ?

[Ah-lim]

use a small piece prawn of meat, cover with stocking, then tie a small pebble to make it sink.

Worm might get stuck with the stocking.

Method I heard from the net.

hi - would like to share that i finally managed to catch the bristle worm that has been in my tank for some time.

it is about 1.5ft long when stretched out. and as a brother had correclty observed, it leaves blotches of jelly like substance in the tank. quite disgusting.

what i did was to observe at night with a torch light where the worm might possibly hide. after noting which rock it is hiding in, I took that rock out and hacked it. the worm is now kept in a separate container. does look a little disgusting!

I suspect the worm had a hand in the death of some of my fishes.

Bristle worms dont USUALLY, eat fishes. If ur fishes are healthy, they will swim away fast enough for the worm to get near. Bristleworms MAY eat diseased and dying fishes, or dead fishes. rarely, they eat healthy fish. Unless its a eunicid bristleworm or bobbitworm. those are very bad fishi-vores =D

yes bro lemon - you might be right. there was some itch outbreak in my tank which probably weakened the fish.

oh ya - I only noticed that the worm was on the Singapore ping pong team when I posted the pic! too focused on the worm that I didn't notice the background picture all the while when I was hacking the rock ! ha ha ha! No disrespect meant. sorry sorry....

HAHAHA! That's what my watchman goby did yesterday morning. I think I forgot to feed the tank the day before, and when I spotted 3 inches of the bristleworm sticking out, the goby whacked it before I could even reach my tweezers!

Still got one bobbit worm in the tank though... That one hard to get rid of, already killed one marble starfish and one cleaner shrimp in the past week. Anyone had success trapping it with market prawn and stockings?

sometimes at night i can see it crawling on the sand bed looking for food. Usually at night when everything quietens down. i just scoop it out.

just scoop it out? the worn hide very fast how to scoop.

[onizukaa]

take out of all the rock around evening time 9-10pm, and check all the rock, it should be crawling underneath the rock.

(can clean your tank and re-arranage the rockscape in the meantime)

but its not advisable to do if your fishes is not stable as it will cause stress to it, careful when catching as it might leave a "sting" in your hand.

Did that yesterday with my friend
