Aquarium Advice Freak
A friend of mine recently aquired a 20 gallon SW aquarium with live rock, sand, Chromis and a Maroon Clown. When he got it home...he also realized he had a Flatworm problem and ton of Bristlworms ranging from tiny to 4-5 inches long.
Upon recommendations from LFS, he purchased a Six Line Wrasse...which should take care of both problems.
The Problem is now that the bristleworms appear to be attacking the Wrasse when it tries sleep. He has witnessed several worms biting fins and tail, and that the Wrasse is showing signs of stress and possible Ick. The Clown and Chromis do not appear to be bothered as they do not sleep within the Live Rock as the Wrasse does.
Any ideas on how to thin out the bristleworms in the tank without harming other inverts. Any recommendations on what to do with the Wrasse? Should he be put in a QT?
Any recommendations would he helpful!
Thanks!
