A question about bristle worms ?

Question

i was wondering can i get a fish or something that will eat these i have a 29 gallon marine fish tank?

Answer 1

Orchid dottyback (never had one)

Wrasses (I avoid them, my last reef/invertebrate safe wrasse ate every invertebrate as soon as it molted)

Arrow crabs (will definitely eat polyps)

Feed less and more water changes (they are detritus eaters)

Bristle worm traps (tried them and they actually work)

Any anthias (haven't tried them either, but they are small enough for a small tank like your and rather pretty http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=20 )

Bristle worms can be very beneficial to your tank. They can scavenge in the nooks and crannies, and their tunneling keeps the porous rock from clogging up. They are only a problem when they start getting over six inches long.

Answer 2

You can buy traps for them. Keeping your tank extremely clean also helps. I used to use a siphon to suck some of them out during water changes also...but that requires extreme caution. Lest, you topple things.

That site tells you how to trap them.
