What eats bristleworms?
I have an established (1 yr) 75 gal reef tank. When I first set up the tank, I noticed a few of these things hanging out in the rock. I also had tons of amphipods and other smaller inverts at the time. Now the bristleworm population has exploded, and I no longer see any of the amphipods. I have no idea if these things are related, but I would like to get something that will trim down the worms.
So far on the forum I've seen six line wrasse, and arrow crabs. Anything else? |

Fridmani Pseudo
Also the 6 line will chomp on pods. I am not sure if the fridmani does.

According to the current Coral magazine, pistol shrimp and their partner gobies do. I'm going to experiment with this soon, see if the boys in the nano like bristly visitors from the main tank

Get a juvenile dragon wrasse, they are not as destructive as the books state, and they eat what ever britsle worms will fit in there mouth. I don't mind the worms, it's just that the big ones are un-slightly. My dragon wrasse is now an adult and he scans the live rock during all daylight hours. You must have a 4" or more sand bed to keep one, they need it to sleep.
