Bristle worms

[ph34r3d]

I have just recently found that I have bristle worms in my tank. They are mostly less than an inch in size, but there are quite a few. Just the other day I actually found that eating my chocolate chip star fish (Unsure if they killed it or not) What would be the best way to get rid of the bristle worms?


I have read that bicolor psudeochromis will hunt them down and eat them. Is this true? Is there anything else that could help, maybe a royal gramma?

Also, are bristle worms always a danger to a tank?

The other fish and invertebrates in my tank are.. Foxface Rabbit fish, a yellow damsel, 2 brittle star fish and some snails.


Any information would be greatly appreciated.

A six line wrasse will take care of them.

I consider them a great part of my clean up crew. I bet they were eating the star, after it's demise.

Bristleworms are really cool. I see one every now and then in my ten gallon but I of course dont see any in my 20 because I have a sixline. There are lots of peanut worms in there though...
