Well, as of 12:14am, he's hanging out on the gorgonian near his wifey & I haven't seen him eat yet. That's when I'll know that this whole ugly episode is past. However, I don't blame him for not eating if he had/has 2 bristles inside his tiny tube mouth. Slowly sifting through my substrate to catch & boil all the little buggers
I'm going to see if OA will bring in arrow crabs for this problem & I hope to get a small dose of Panacur anyways to treat the tank with. Hopefully it'll drive them out of the LR.
It's a catch 20. Feed frequently to keep seahorses alive & fat but risk bristleworm infestations or feed less frequently to control the b.w. but be less than ideal for seahorses.
Thanks for everybody's kind words of concern & prayers for my little buddy.
