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

I don't know if I have "too many" of them. They don't seem to be hurting anything. And as a matter of fact, they are pretty kewl to watch throughout the tank. My bio load is very small right now and if all the worms do is eat the detrius then I can live with them. My guess is that, yes, I am overfeeding my tank. I will cut back on the feeding for a while.
Did my description sound like the "good" bristle worms to everybody?

While ago picked up some LR that was crawling with worms, was almost creepy when feeding the tank. Haven't seen any in months and have couple of clowns, damsel, 6-line wrasse and a P Tang. Leaning towards the 6-line as the guy with the appetite.

I'd put my money on the wrasse, too. My 6-line works pretty hard to keep our tank worm and pod free. In our other tank, the pair of ocellaris don't seem a bit interested in the large worm population.

6 Line Wrasse will eat them pretty fast! Emerald Crabs work too but I have had Emerald Crabs eat the odd coral as well.
