Bristleworms- A new trick in my book

[carey]

So i did a larger water change just now and was amazed at what started happening.

The bristeworms were sticking their heads out of the crevices in the rock and spewing a nasty white substance! What the heck is that all about? I've had bristleworms for the last few years, no biggie I've left them alone mostly but this has me baffled.

ANyone have any ideas or input? What were they spewing into my water? LOL

Agh that's gross. Looks like you've got some happy bristle worms lol must be the lighting that got them in the mood.

I wonder If the "white stuff" will foul the water if they keep doing it over time

The water was actually clouded up after they were all through. I;m guessing the larger than usual water change spurred it on. I've done big changes before and never witnessed anything like I saw today. Must have been 30 different streams of yuck floating around.
