Bristle Worms!

[JesusG]

So I had already seen ONE bristle worm a couple of weeks ago under a rock and didn't really worry about it.
But soon found out that they only come out at night.

I decided to camp out and quickly turn on the flashlight on my phone and found about 15-30 all over my rocks! That's a low guess!
Some big some tiny!

I also saw some around where my blue tang sleeps under a rock. Is that dangerous?

WHAT CAN I DO TO REMOVE SOME OF THEM?

They are scavengers and I find them to be a "free" portion of the clean up crew. They won't bother fish or inverts unless they have already passed or getting ready to. You can reduce the numbers by reducing feeding if you feel the need to. Just be careful if you go in there to rearrange the rock, as they can leave those little bristles in your hand if you touch them...
