Worms in my tank


Recommended Posts

Recently, I notice that my tank has worms (lots of worms) I think it is brisworms, it is kind of hairy (or at least it seem to be) and about 1/4 of it body is pink the rest is black.

I have try ambush it but it is faster than me. Than I tried to set a trap using a small bottle put some fish food inside and cut a hole on the bottle cap.

Only able to catch a few babies, but the mother and father still wondering around.

Any one has experience to share?

hey bro is your tank empty at the moment ? if it is u might wanna throw in a sixline or 1 or 2 common damsels.. they clean up the babies for u..

about the adults ones i have seen in this forum that some reefers use red light to located the worms in the dark? correct me if i am wrong. or u can juz located the rock of which the worms are in and soak the rock in FW... it will kill the worms

gd luck

My experience is soaking the rock in fresh water kills it almost instantly. Never try using red light to locate them before but they do stay on the same rock most of the time. Guess should be doing some worm HUNTING tonight. :lol::lol::lol:
