the question is, "what eats them" - not, "are they good?"

copperbanded butterflyfish eat them. so do larger cleaner shrimp. and I think coral banded shrimp as well.


btw, they are good - just ugly. some predation keeps them honest, and hiding more.

Yeah, I switched ISP's and don't run my own webserver anymore so my old pics aren't online now.

I found the magenta/strawberry dottyback to be good at eating bristleworms (but they'll probably eat all of the other worms and pods as well).

My old Arrow Crab would use one claw to stuff his mouth full while grabbing another bristle worm with the other.
