I have noticed that the L/R has a large population of two types of worms 1 being red/pink fire worms and the other being brown worms with 3 tentacles on the front of it.
Question are these worms safe ?In a nano reef which has 2 percula clowns 1 firefish 1 cleaner shrimp. the tank also houses 1 bta and a couple of soft corals.
If not how do you go about eliminating them:confused:

The first worm is a bristle worm, which are perfectly safe. Bristle worms are excellent detrivores that will help keep clean detritus. The other worm i'm not so sure about. Possibly a peanut worm. They're both probably safe.
