they are definatly creepy as hell and thanks quite sure they are peanut worms now i gotta find out how to get rid of them anyone got any ideas? it woul be way to hard to hand pick them out cos theres basically one in every rock so mayb a worm eating fish or even better a shrimp becos it is a shrimp tank thanks

im not sure about shrimp that would be ablt to get rid of them, but arrow crabs are good at getting rid of bristle worms so im guessing they can handle these things

Why do you want to get rid of a natural, harmless member of your tank?

well i didnt mind them at the start becos they wer nocturnal but now they come out at day and they give me that weird feeling that runs down your spine so yeh dont really like that feeling lol

Nothing wrong with them, a good addition to the clean up crew in the tank..best leave them be, in my opinion..

 

[cyphoman]

yehh ok u guys convinced me to keep them although i might just take one or two out becos ther is plenty already and constantly seein little white babies

More worms to keep your tank clean naturally. Leave them alone. They will multiply according to how much "food" is there for them to eat.
