Catch those Brissels worms

How do I catch those ugly brissels worrms that come in to my tank with LR??

Why to catch them? They are a good addition to any tank. If you rally want to you can catch them using a piece of nylon socking with a piece of clam, fish or shrimp inside, the worms will come out at night atracted by the bait and entangle in the sock, take it out before lights on.
There are also some plastic traps to get them.

Nope, Although there are some variaties that may eat some of the pods in the tank those are usually rare and the great majority are detrivorous that help keep your rock pores and sand clean of debris and left overs.

I like bristleworms, although my orange spotted goby keeps my display free of them. They are everywhere in my fuge - I wouldn't worry about them.

I have a lot of them, but none of them nearly that size.
