Bristleworrms!!!!!

[jeffmdavis]

Well it had to happen sooner or later! I was looking in my tank and I have seen at least 2 bristleworms! At least that is what I think they are, they look like little pink millipeds. These things are about a 1/4 of an inch long. Should I try to get them out? If so, what is the best way?

Any help would be appreciated!

no. They're good for your tank.

I have a lot of those in my fuge and tank. There are some people that dont want them and those that do. I think theyre beneficial to MY system. Your Mileage May Vary.

Just grab them with your bare fingers

I'm just kidding, do not do this. Fireworms can sting and it isn't pleasant.

On the serious side, they are good for your tank as long as they don't get too out of control, i.e. more worms visible then sand.
