Saltwater Bristle Worms: Friend or Foe? The truth!

[@aymanmorsy19]

Thank you for the information

[@reefrookies]

My pleasure

[@edwarddoonan5253]

When I transferred my tank they all spawned at once. It was kinda cool. I've never been concerned by them except whenever I'm moving something in the tank cause I'm guaranteed to get stuck by one. They do an excellent job of eating any fish that might die in your tank.

[@reefrookies]

Absolutely! A mass spawn might be concerning to see though! lol

Kind of unrelated to the video, but I’m about to start my first 75g mixed reef. What is your number 1 tip for a new reefer?

[@reefrookies]

Nothing good happens fast in reefing. Go slow, add slow, remove slow. Plan for very little to go in the tank for the first 3 months, then maybe a bit more 3-6months in.

[@suki7075]

@@reefrookies awesome! I’ll keep this in mind ❤️

[@Tylerjc2201]

I loved having bristle worms in my tank before it crashed 2 years ago, i hope i get some in my new set up once ive got it up and running in the coming months. i might just buy some live rock to get a higher chance at having them lol also i just subscribed and i will check out your other vids 😁

[@reefrookies]

Thanks! I actually ask my fish store for them specifically and they let me pick them out of the tanks. lol

[@cordialily]

I have some good size mature bristle worms I can send you if you’re in the UK

[@Tapsreefingandthings]

Love my creepy crawlies

[@reefrookies]

Meeeeeeeeee toooooooooooo

[@calo-reef3928]

Watchman gobies will eat them bristle worms, well the watchman that I have and it looks like he love them, but I think it depends how big they are because the biggest one he won’t eat them.

[@reefrookies]

Ive seen some videos of that, unfortunately I never get THOSE watchmen gobies! lol Thanks for watchin!

[@Lowridersworldwide]

I got one u want it u can have it

[@Aedony]

Wouldn't animals like dove snails do the same job?

[@reefrookies]

Those are good cleaners, but in my experience are very difficult to find.

[@Merknilash]

I loathe these things Tried to avoid them and still got them Dry rock, small frags, didn’t matter

[@reefrookies]

We all have them, its just part of the game. They are easily managable with animals that eat them:) Arrow crab, 6 or 8 lined wrasse, Timor wrasse are a few.

[@MACNTOSFAM]

am i the only one who feeds them to nems? 😂

[@reefrookies]

Ahhhhh, good bet you might be. lol! Never heard of that! Nems will eat them?

[@MACNTOSFAM]
