Those were bristleworms, handling them is not recommended, as you've found out. If you have a ton of them in your tank, you're overfeeding.

Take some Benadryl & if you start feeling really sick go to the ER & tell them what got you. Just like bees, some people react worse than others. If you have bristles embedded in your skin, try using some duct tape to get the bristles out. Also, take a hot bath, hot as you can stand. Throwing some vinegar in there wouldn't hurt any (but you'll smell like an Easter egg :lmao.

Sounds like your angle has the start of HLLE, ( head and lateral line erosion )

i was sick all night whats the cure for the angel?

If I knew a cure I'd be able to retire from dairy farming. Feed optimal nutrition, nls pellets, ocean nutrition angle formula, pe mysis or aqua treasures mysis supreme soaked in vita chem. Keep optimal water quality.

Prozi pro will kill your bristle worms. Safe to use in display. Have large batch of fresh mixed.saltwater on hand and ready to remove dead worms and prevent water quality issues.
