Sandworms

Postby TablFish on Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:57 pm

i recently bought about five pounds of live rock for my marine aqu.
today i found a sand worm craling in and out of the rock. After researching i found it preys on tiny invertebrates. Do i need to get rid of this pest? i plan on having a living reef. How do i get rid of it?

Its called a bristle worm, they move around in your sand and will filter out some of the waste. They are good to have, I have some where in the range of 300+ at least they are every where.
