Bristleworms....what do you do with them?

[Samw]

My office tank was full of bristleworms. Everyone in the office hated them. Then I got a magenta dottyback. Now, I have no more bristleworms at all in that tank.

Unfortunately, it also ate my sexy shrimps and coral banded shrimp.

Pretty sure that is a regular bristleworm, Bob, they just don't look as cute when they get to that size.

Ive got two types in my tank.

1. Looks like above picture.
2. Looks more orangey-pink in the middle with purple head and tail.

yup thats a bristle worm as it is a genaric name that covers a bunch of worms.. I have a few of that type that are over 12" long and they cause no problems whats so ever.
