What do you think? To KEEP or not to KEEP? :help:

bristle worms....depends..... when I see big ones....I remove. But I figure the little ones (as long as I don't see them) are members of the clean up crew...they can eat garbage found in the nooks & cranies...lol

They are healthy for your tank but the large ones MAY (small chance) eat the base of some corals So I get rid of the large ones that I find and keep the small ones.

Well it's familly members are still in the tank but this one went Around and Around a few minutes ago:rip:

I'll leave the other 2 alone for now:spy:. But I'm keeping my eye's open for momma:ranger:. Thanks

It was told to me that they are good, leave them. Anything they eat from the base of corals is dead flesh, sluffing off anyway. It was told to me that it actually helps the corals.
-I have had times that there were tons of them in my 40gal, I never had a problem with any bristle worms, they are a great part of the clean up.

If you've seen 2, there's probably at least 10 you haven't seen. They're among the most beneficial members of your tank. Just don't touch them.

Thanks I'll wear gloves while in the tank for now on.

Very beneficial in my MHO....

They can leave bristles in you fingers and it really hurts.
