Researching fire and bristle worms I was curious if anyone, at a certain size (or other reason), starts removing bristle worms? Obviously you want fire worms out if possible IMO. I have a 20g AIO and there are two exceedingly large bristle worms in the tank, never hurt anything but obviously loving the extra feeding I was doing when I was trying to raise my NO3 and PO4. Now that the tank has established more, there is far less excess for them to eat. I don't expect they would harm anything, I've never had one do anything egregious. However I am a bit curious if some people remove them to allow smaller ones to take it's place and get into smaller areas, or if they just let them go?
FWIW, I've always just ignored them unless a fireworm or a suspected one. Ugly little guys but scavenge well!
