live black worms

[reef tank 2.0]

I have a big problem with brown algae. LOTS of it. I have read to decrease feeding amounts and see what happens.

I got to thinking. I use the LRS, and some other frozen food types for the few fish I have. I have also have a Banggai cardinal that refuses to eat frozen foods. So I have to feed live black worms as well as frozen for the other fish.

Do live black worms add nutrients to the water like the frozen foods do? What does the live worms do to the water if not eaten? Do the worms feed algae as well?

Just make sure to rinse them before throwing them into the aquarium. They don't live long at all in saltwater and I doubt they add more nutrients to the water then frozen foods.
