Bristle Worms

[skimacka]

So when I fed my fish today, I noticed a ton of bristle worms... Had to be about a dozen. Should I be alarmed about this in a nano setup?

not really, they are good at cleaning up, just dont touch them, my seahorse tank has a bunch of them 6"+

Hi skimacka ;-)

Exception made to Hermodice carunculata, NYreefNoob just said it for the most part. Here you can read some more about them as well as the reason why you must not touch them. Basically they are your "clean-up crew" and "reef-janitorial" staff, read some more about it here

Cheers
Pedro Nuno ;-)
