    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=4">Mark Peterson</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 129<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> November&nbsp;01&nbsp;2002 at 1:00am<br /><br /><P>Bristleworms are our friends. They are part of the cleanup crew.</P><P>Actually, if your tank is not too old, we might w&#111;nder how they got to be full grown so quickly. What kind of food source could they have? Lots of uneaten food, lots of detritus, too many dead and disappearing fish or inverts?</P><P>I &#111;nce had some very large green &#111;nes I didn't like the look of so I removed them.</P><P>They can be caught with a piece of seafood wrapped in several loose layers of bridal veil material and dropped down &#111;n fishing line. When they&nbsp;crawl partway into the bundle pull them out of the tank. But d&#111;n't squeeze them with your fingers, because the white fuzzy bristles are irritating and hard to remove, sort of like porcupine quills!</P>]]>

The babies are then horrendously trans&#102;ormed into even larger killer bristleworms that destroy more than coral.</P><P>Happy Halloween</P>]]>
