fireworms in a nano aquarium

[bgk]

i have a wierd worm in my nano it is a fire worm and well there are lots of them i was wondering if there was an invert or fish that would eat them

Fire worms or bristle worms whichever you have, arent bad. They are good detrivores, but if you want them out get an arrow crab or pick them out with tongs.

I would recommend a six line wrasse...more reef friendly than the arrow crab, and does a better job. In fact I have never heard of arrow crabs eating flat worms.

I have had arrow crabs in tanks that were littered with flat worms, and nothing changed.

bristle worms are harmless detrivores, fireworms are bad.

I second the 6-line wrasse. Also, the population explosion might be from overfeeding the tank, so keep a watch on that and good luck!

You will never eliminate all of them.

Many wrasses however will find them delectable.
