Jus wanted to ask do u all remove bristleworm from your tank. I kind of hate them as they are quite big in size. I have a rock with a small cave for my fire goby and inside the cave there is a bristle worm which I not sure how long but it look big from the tail. Around picky finger so fat. Do u think I should remove the rock? I used to have one rock that have a bristleworm one foot Long. When I Decom I use hot water and pour onto the rock. That why I know it a foot Long when it came out. I jus want to seek opinion here whether u all think I should remove the rock with it inside ?

It’s beneficial for detritus removal. I don’t remove it, in fact, I introduce it into my tank. But make sure it is bristle worm and not fire worm. Fire worm is detrimental to corals. The difference between bristle and fire worm is that fire worm has red sides on them that makes them looks like they’re on fire. Bristle worm the coloratura is duller.
