I've had frags that were glued to frag plugs and then lightly glued to the LR, uprooted from their spots by worms. Even my GSP on an egg sized rock pulled down from top shelf of my scape. All these suspected done by bristle or bobbit worms.

Really amazed at their strength. Finally had enough of the nonsense, so I nuked all my LR with fresh water. Hope I don't see them again.

Ha HA ... this guy is at the IOS side, so no problem. Spotted bobbit worm on my DT... u guys will try remove bobbit worm??

Yes as far as I remember Bobbit worms were removed by fellow reefer friends as they were supposedly harmful. I have no hands on experience with them though. Bristle worms are part of the fauna of a reef so let them be unless they get too big.
