M4rk4nth Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Noticed one of my Green Ricordias was missing from its rock today, All I found was a little stub of it on the rock. I searched for it and found it under a rock ... pieces of it anyway and it was being eatten by a big bristle worm! I tryed to catch it but it retreated into the rock. good thin was the rock was a loose rock... took it dip with fresh water... still din't come out. o I used hammer and found 2 worms inside I was very very pissed I slowly dripped salacyclic acid on them and watch them struggle to death painfully.... slowly... Unfortunately I still have more worms in my tank. I've used traps and tryed catching them by red light... no avail unless they are in loose rock which most have been removed to kill the worms inside. anyone have anymore Ideas? on natural bristle worm preydators or catching technics?

BTW I was so pissed that by the time i remembered to take a picture they were puddles of redisd brown goo. But someone did take a picture of a worm that looks exactly like the ones infesting my tank.

erichokk Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi Guys, my tank also got worms, but my is not as scary look as what M4rk4nth has. My anemone just died, it's side seem to be scratched baddly, it was ok during the night but next morning it's dead. Does worms feed on soft corals?? Any chances that it is the worms that kill my baby anemone?? If it is I am going to kill them one by one like what M4rk4nth did. Btw, can anyone identify this worm??
