thats a dang big bristle though lol, i like them when there smaller because ther not as noticable, but once they get that large i like to stabe them with a stick and get them out of there lol.

i heard six line wrasse eat these worms. would one be ok for my tank list?



1x clown "nemo"
1x coral beauty angelfish
1x firefish purple
and maybe 1x blenny

 

[BIGgourami]

i would add him to the tank last, and the blenny and goby first.. the lined wrasses tend to be agressive

you're not refering to that polyp in pic 3 are you?
