As if bristle worms weren't already prolific enough, today I captured this video of a full-blown bristle worm spawning frenzy. Although the video is undoubtedly a disgusting spectacle, the circumstances under which it happened were quite catastrophic. Over the past month, I have been slowly...
I keep finding bristle worms in my tank. The biggest was only the size of a grain of rice so far but I want to control the problem ASAP. Is there an invert of some sort that would eat them? Whenever I think there gone I find new ones a while later.
A few months ago my lfs convinced me to buy some live rock to speed up my cycle.
It was a huge mistake.
First, I got GHA.
Next, I saw an aiptasia coming out of the rock. They sold me some F-Aptasia to get rid of it. It worked. The next day I saw multiple aphasia coming out of the rock along...
Is my pulsing Xenia complete dead or does it have any chance of recovering.
If the cause of Xenia’s death Was possibly death by was being colonized and eaten by some kind spaghetti worms and bristle worms? The bristle worm was entirely red a little less than 6inches which is why I’m afraid that...
I have a 16 gallon bio cube with no fish or coral right now. It’s been running for about 8 months. I’ve noticed tons of what look to be bristle worms and lots of other little bugs running around the sand bed. Want to be sure what they are so I can remove them. Couldn’t get great pictures though.
Hi,
When I turned off the light, this little fellow can crawling out of a rock! Planning on keeping shrimp larvea in the tank, but would like to know if he is harmful. Who can help identify this hairy friend?
i got a small maxima clam for my 33g last Thursday and it seems perfectly healthy however in the mornings and at night I’ve seen a total of 4 on it and 1 several weeks before I had it, I’ve killed all the ones I’ve seen on the clam but couldn’t find the bigger one again, does anyone know if they...
Couple of questions please...woke up to find 3 of these bristle ? worms cruising around my unlit tank. I'd just like to say I MAY NEVER STICK MY HAND IN MY TANK AGAIN.
2 of the worms looked like greyish-tannish nondescript bristle worms but this one looked different...is it a fire worm...
So in my 29 gallon macroalgae tank, I have a healthy population of bristle worms. But I also have fireworms and I literally saw a big one chasing after my turbo snail and chomped it. The snail could not beat it with its turbo speed, but I got rid of the worm before it killed it. However I have a...
Unsure if these are French in origin endulging on some escargot , but I as one who loves their CUC does not appreciate it. His friends are just standing idly by as though they're waiting their turn. :(
I just did a Peroxide dip on one of my Zoa's and to my big surprise I had a dozen or so bristle worms come out.
My question is should I worry about more bristle worms being in my tank? And if so, any good write ups out there on removing them?
Hey everyone,
Chad Clayton here. I am gearing up to present at the Ocean State Reef Aquarium Society's annual event in April. I am going to discuss live feeds and how they are applied to aquariums (also a little about aquaculture). I have a lot of information from past experiences on brine...
Hello all!
If you don't want to read this all, I've summarized at the bottom.
As of a couple days ago, I have successfully started a major goal of mine- owning a saltwater tank. Growing up, we always had a big salt tank around, and I couldn't be more excited now that I've moved out to start my...
