Hello all, its been a while since I have been in need of help from this fourm and I'm so glad I became a member. Nothing has helped me more in this hobby than AA, well nothing has helped me while I sit on the toilet as much as AA, if you know what I mean!
Anyways I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about bristle worms and in my opinion they are as ugly as a bullfrog to me, but I really didnt see much more wrong with them other than if I touch them I will regret it.
Good CUC and I believe the ones I have are the least dangerous out of them all.
But here inlies my concern, when I first spotted this hitchhiker in my 29g FOWLR I wanted it out because at the time I didn't know much about um but I heard that they multiply fast. I pulled like 2 out and I thought I was safe, and then I learned that they were ok to a certain extent. Let the one I couldn't easily get to remain, and some time went on.
Bringing me here today. My tank is aboslutley crawling with those guys now, some up to about 4-6" and a ton of baby 1" or less. Now its time to weigh my options. They are EVERYWHERE
What can happen if I let them remain? Are they dangerous to my live stock? At the moment I only have 1 azure damsel, 1 cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp, emerald crab, and chocolate chip starfish, (with about 4 red legged hermits, and 2 blue legged hermits, and 3 or so Margarita snails )
Will anything eat them?
What can I do?
On another side note, I also have quite a few DIGITATE HYDROIDS! See pictures
And due to recent budget constraints (girlfriend now EX) I haven't been able to keep up my tank like I want. But now I don't care if she flies off the hinges if I spend my hard earned money on my tank.(sorry about that)
Please help!
