Nope, this is not another are bristleworms are evil b/c i saw them eating something thread. In fact, I love all my bristleworms.... However, they might disagree with tha statement. Does anyone else sit at their tank late at night, catching bristleworm with a turkey baster, and then feeding them to their torch coral? or am i just sadistic? Whichever it is, it's something else to watch.
One note, I didnt just dream this up... I started after watching a bristleworm floating around after it "explored" the powerhead, and it bumped into my torch... GULP! lunch time! So I figure it's natural, and it's live food! Gotta be healthy... sushi time! Forgive the grammer and/or spelling... it is almost one in the morning :D

I never thought of doing that, I should start since I have a few bristle worms that are getting to big. I guess my corals will like a change.

ahh good. i'm glad i'm not the only one! I would imagine if i had more time to watch the tank, i'd see such events happen naturaly. *arg* i would love to sit there 24/7... it's so neat to watch everything happen! i've got a condy, and i guess i've been very lucky with it, it is a lovely iridescent brown, with purple tips, and has never moved.

Wow, I never thought of trying that. I wonder what other pests I can feed to my carpet anenome. The damn thing loves when the astrea sanils fall into it (not by my doing of course). I just find a pile of shells at its base every so often.

wow, how large is your carpet? my condy's disk is about 3 1/2 - 4 inches across. i doubt it could eat my snails! I have lost a small yellow clown goby to it however. :(
