Im fairly new to the saltwater world, and have so many questions. I was hoping somebody could help me out. I have LOTS of bristle worms, I was told some hawk fish actually eat them and keep it under control, does anyone have and suggestions for me?

Thanks

I also have lots of bristle worms. They are not a bad thing to have. They are one of the best clean up crew there is. I wouldnt worry too much about them.

Bristleworms multiply by how much they have to eat. Cut down on your feeding, or decrease your bioload. My peppermints ate mine.

Its always a good thing to have bristleworms in ya tank, they will eat up alot of the detrius etc, I would only worry if they become of plague proportion, or if u have a very large one.
