Thanks

my copperband in my old set up loved them, as did my lunare wrasse. in my new set-up I'm planning on a clown fairy wrasse & I heard they like them as well.

I have known arrow crabs to eat bristle worms!

Perhaps you should look at the reason why you have so many bristle worms in the first place before you go the predator route of control.

Bristle worms generally feed on dead and decaying material. The usual source of this in aquaria is overfeeding/overstocking and die-off. Try cutting back on your feedings and maybe lower your bioland and most of the bristle worms will simply starve to death until you have a manageable population that does its job as a natural part of your clean-up crew.

Yellow coris wrass's eat them.

Magenta Dottybacks eat them, even the large worms. Do you have any other ornamental worms or small crestaceans though? Cause the dottyback will eat those too.

a pet store in edmonton had bristol worms and they got in a bunch of arrow crabs the arrow crabs were cutting the bristol worms in half now they have ten times as many. The best bet is the trap for bristol worms, you buy the trap it comes with food put it in the tank at night by the spot that has the bristol take the trap in the morning throw out the bristol worms
