The Case of the Disappearing Eggs

[Sprockett]

I've had three hatches of percula eggs disappear about 5 days in, the last set they had been whittling down. And last night there was about 40 left, then this morning the rock is %100 clean (I mean not a spot). My suspicion is that it's a bristleworm, there's a rather large one on the same rock. It seems to happen overnight, frustrating... :mad2:

Any ideas?, I've been laying in pottery shards which so far they have refused. Just looking for some advice on how to proceed..

Thanks

Try using a small flowerpot within 6 inches of where they have been spawning. If they refuse that then try getting rid of the worm.
