Howdy ya'll,
I have bristle worms comming out of the wazoo. I am gonna bag up a bunch for anyone who wants some. What I'll do is catch as many as I can and separate them evenly into little baggies. I can literally remove about 200 at a time from my tank with out really effecting my tank's population. If you aren't famiar with them, these guys are pink annelid worms with silica setae (spines) that eat decomposing matter in reef tanks. They are beneficial but can overpopulate in systems where all the nutrients end up going to them (like mine). They reproduce sexually frequently which puts eggs, sperm, and larva into the water column which is a good food for corals.
Let me know,
Kevin
