Most wrasses will munch on them but only a few actively seek them out as a food source
Arrow crabs will eat them as a primary food source but most likely will attack and eat critters and feather dusters that you want to keep too once the worm population is decimated Coral banded shrimp will eat bristle worms too but not always and may attack and eat other smaller critters in your tank as well

In my experience Chromis don't die, or if they do they rarely leave remains, just the mystery of their disappearance. Still though, I hope he shows his face later and was maybe just late getting out of bed.

I've had chromis that looked healthy and part of the community just disappear I have ever only found the remains of one fish the others who knows where they go.
On the other hand it could be hiding if you haven't seen it after 3 days most likely it has been consigned to the fish graveyard

Best case scenario is that the missing Chromis is a male and is guarding eggs. But I'm not incredibly hopeful of that, from what I understand their breeding in aquariums is relatively rare.
As soon as Golds gets their order in I will likely go pick up a few more anyway. They are so small and I like the way they school. Plus the "green" ones I bought are very blue.

Did a parameters check last night and the results look almost perfect. Do you ever have the feeling that things are going too well?
Ammonia: Undetectable Nitrate: Undetectable Nitrite: Undetectable Phosphate: Undetectable Calcium: 420 Alk: 8.3 pH: 8.18 Salinity: 52mS Temperature: 81 degrees Cleaning crew has almost all of the brown algae cleaned off the rocks; they are showing purple, white, and grey now for the most part. No algae blooms on my glass or equipment but I do get a little green growth here and there, which is handled by the cleaning crew almost as soon as I see them. No diatom blooms on my sand and the blue hermits are keeping it as tidy as an operating room. Coraline seems to be growing slowly but at a steady pace, and the feather dusters, corals etc. that hitch-hiked on my live rock seem to be thriving. Last night I had a turbo snail releasing his love juice into the water flow, little sucker was going at it for at least 20 minutes... The free with purchase rock crab I got is keeping my sump very tidy although I don't know how much he loves living in there. (No rock, algae, etc. for him to monkey with) Doing a 20% water change this weekend, really just to replace trace minerals and bump my salinity slightly. I’ve been dosing with a coraline booster and adding calcium and alk using Seachem’s reef builder/buffer. I've validated all my test kits using their reference samples so I'm pretty sure my numbers are spot on. Last edited by Magickiwi; 08-29-2013 at 05:45 PM.
