Hello,

I have tons of this worms and since my zoanthids seems not to be OK, I think perhaps it is one of the causes.
Questions:
1- What is the following worm (actually, is it a worm?)?
2- Is it a harm? Do it eat/kill/bothers any corals at all?
3- If so, how do I remove it? Is there any fish that eats it?

Thanks!

Bristleworms. Good part of the cleanup crew but you can get too many if you overfeed. Don't touch them. And since you have several in cups, I figure you already know how to remove them LOL.
 
Tks!
I was wondering if there was a natural predator, but if its a good cleaning creature, I will let it be... Just will remove the big ones... Tks!
 
Supposedly there are, but introducing a predator instead of solving the problem (overfeeding) could cause other problems. I used to just pull out the big ones too.
