Good bristleworm ( wishfull thinking )

They're actually broadcast spawners... I had the pleasure(?) of watching it happen once in a friends tank. ALL of the worms quickly stuck out of their hiding holes a few at a time and shot fluid into the water column. This happened while his skimmer was broken down waiting for a new pump. Lucky worms. So they don't appear to lay eggs but thats all I know about their reproduction.

You'll be amazed at what can appear out of liverock months or even years after you add it.

Tell me about it. I just had chitons and limpets appear out of nowhere recently. No frags have been added in a few months now and the rock is a few years old. Always surprises in this hobby.

this happened to me about a month ago, after a water change.

I knew I had some but I thought I had small ones becuase thats all I ever saw. Once they started to spawn I saw ones that were easily the size of a pencil around and longer than my fingers. So where there is one worm theres at least 10 more you cant see
