Bristol Worms?

[ninjastar]

Okay I been reading alot about these little criters but dont know who to believe. So are these really good and benifical or are they bad and will kill everything in its way??

i got them in my tanks, i think theyre good, sift through the live sand ive noticed nothing bad happen because of them, again im also 100% sure just about every sw tank has them

overall bristle worms are good, only a few verieties are coral predators, though a few get huge and can become a problem as a result.

So what should I do then??

Leave therm alone.

+1 to the above, never hurts though to have a wrasse in tank to stop them from overrunning the place.

My tank as a few that are to big for my wrasse to eat. I think it eats all the small ones because I never see any others.

I once found one like 6 inches, iwas like holy ****! Then again I here your water quality is good if you have them thriving.
