SRC Member DottyClown Posted November 14, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted November 14, 2013 First u need to identify what type of worms. The 3 most common seen, would be bristle worm, fire worm & bobbit worm. It would be good to remove the bobbit, as it may attack smaller/slower fishes, although some reefers says they never had problem with it. Fire worm too, remove it to reduce possibility that you may get stunk when u move the LR. Bristle worm usually can leave inside as they are scavengers. But some reefers still don't trust them, so it is also removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohanson Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 try to look around for it at night when it is dark. Have never succeeded in catching the worm before but you can try placing some food in the open for the worm to come out.

Land2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 If they are no issue with LS, u can ignore them. Manual remove is painful as there should a lot inside LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member DottyClown Posted November 15, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted November 15, 2013 There are wormn traps available for sale in the market. Maybe Madpetz have. You can also DIY a trap yrself.
