hi I had quite a few of them and last night I saw a really big one grab a piece of nori and take it into his hole I hope it's just a normal bristle worm as I can live with that otherwise I need to nuke my tank XD


(please don't be a fireworm or some other bad SOB)

Looks like it to me. Creepy things aren’t allowed in my tank, I could care less what they do for it.
firstly I love your username I was watching the office maybe about an hour ago I wonder what Dwight would do maybe sell them on his beet farm, and secondly I bloody hate them they make me cringe but better to be good one than the bad :D

They def are a solid part of the clean up crew. But I can’t stand the sight of them, so that’s gonna be a no for me dawg. Dwight would totally have them doing his dirty work.

I agree they are disgusting but I'm happy to know they are the good guys and not the bad ones as I saw a tiny bit of red on them and I thought I hope it's not fireworms.

thanks again

I would have never thought they ate algea I thought it was just detritus but they will literally eat everything and anything
Yes, bristle worm, I have plenty. They eat macro algae though. Now that my algae took off it is not a problem, but I had to catch them when my macro were just starting.
