what fish eat bristles worm?

[gunnwong]

I have too many in my tank. I also know it a good scavenger.
thank you

6 line wrasse

 

[fantastic4]

My 6 line did not eat anything remotely resembling a worm. My Harlequin Tusk does eat them. Bought a Orchid Dotty Back and no go as well. In my honest opinion, I believe Orchids and 6 lines only eat baby worms, like 1/100 on an inch.

 

[rockindacheeks]

the only cool thing about my 6 line is that he mows the bristle worms down. Hes a punk to other fish though.

 

[gunnwong]

I mean the fish that not too mean and not eating any of my inverter such as shrimp and hermet crab. I know that 6 line is mean and will eat shrimp and might even kill other fish.
thanks

my psuedochromis ate them..so did my coral banded shrimp.

 

[DRC69]

Mind to, but I do like him.

 

[gunnwong]

I also have Pseudochromis fridmani( Orchid Dottyback) but he does not eat any worm. "But he really great looking fish, I got him for $40, i think it really good deal.
thanks

 

[gunnwong]

how about butterfly fish???

 

[moses13]

My cleaner shrimp eats them. Also, a lot of the halichoeres wrasses will eat them too.

 

[reefernick]

my pseudochromis aldabraensis loves bristle worms. never bothers my shrimp are fish. my pseudochromis fridmani loves them to but will only eat small ones.

Well, I once had a Arrow crab that would pick off the rock and devour them on the regular. It was quite pleasant to watch. (Odd shaped crab eating bristleworms are amusing to watch). And I have read on Vivid Aquarium's fish list about the Banded Longfin Basslet eating problematic bristleworms...(probably a very good candidate for this situation).

ditto on the Arrow Crab

Bristleworm's worst nightmare, they be; claws-of-death-from-above!

...tears 'em up like little bristle-snacker-roonies, yessiree-Bob!

FISH on the other hand, just 'aint got the TOOLS to get the job done, son.....neither on the grabbin' end, nor the chewin' end!

 

[Frankysreef]

halichoeres wrasses do the job... I;ve watched mine in action..

 

[reef_doug]

Leopard wrasse will eat what a six line does, but with less aggressive behaviour to other fish.

Plus... I think the are a better looking fish.

I had a ton in a 55, I put in the following:

Blue Spot Puffer
Harliquin Tusk
Snowflake eel
Foxface

I have not seen a bristle worm in ages. I have no idea which of them is eating the worms, but one of them has been feasting.

 

[SurfOnH20]

Dont these worms come out only at night? My six line wrase probably wouldn't or any other fish I have would give them much attention during these hours.

 

[salt e]

my Longnose butterfly eats em

 

[SuperNerd]

pseudochromis.

 

[ReefMeister2]

OOoo! OOoo! Wait! I know! I know!

I heard from someone, who heard from someone else, who's grandmother told them....that....that....

THE CHUPO CABRE feeds on Bristle Worms!!!
