lol it could have been the food I used to catch the worms. it "was" a clean jar but you can have it now lol I hope everything made it. I can't imagine how hot everything got. It's well into the 100 deg range where I live.

Visiting my parents and o m g! Their rock is out of control...here I was freaking out about one bristle worm in my tank, they have a million! I'm sure youd be paying big bucks for this rock...

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

[Fotopoulos]

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

[Fotopoulos]

Not happening. Debating on taking a power washer to the rock...so creepy!

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

nooo they make an excellent cuc see if an lfs will take them or a buddy or i will I'm turnin into the bristle rescuer lol

 

[Sarcothelia]

If they weren't bristly I'd love em. But I'd rather not wear gloves while moving liverock!

I hate them so much that when I moved my fish/coral out of my 14g, I kept the rocks in my 14g and have been letting them starve for months. Apparently they are cannibals because they are still around in hordes. Creepy...

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

they consume waste and deterius and something about trates getting higher they grow largee have you tried rehomeing instead of killing?

 

[Fotopoulos]

Anyway of washing them off the rock?

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

nope not really thats where they stay when lights are on they come out at night

 

[Fotopoulos]

Gross. They just creep me out! Time for an arrow crab! Lol

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol try not to use another creature to take care of them what happens if it runs out of bristle worms and the crab starves

 

[Fotopoulos]

Haha did you see that rock? There is no flipping way it will ever run out of worms!

 

[KcTx]

I have allot in my rock like that, I have had my tank running for a month with no feeding & the rock sat in a tub for about 4 months with a power head only. I figured that 5-6 months without feeding would have thinned them out some? I want a few but not nearly as many as I have now. lol

 

[Fotopoulos]

I have one in my 6 g tank and was freaked out...I cannot believe my parents infested tank!
