bristle worm - a biggy

[hooked]

WOW, I spotted that bristle worm in my tank that I have not seen for over 2 months. It was early today, no lights on and I got a flashlight to try and find my emerald and peppermint that have been afk since friday night. This worm is getting close to 5 inches in length Not sure if I should try to remove him or not. I haven't had any problems with him but have noticed that the feather duster I put in has moved about 2 inches from original spot. I spotted the worm by him so thats what is making me think he did it. What's everyone think?

Thanks,

I wouldn't worry about it...I have had some as large as that with no problems

Leave him in there. He probably isn't causing any harm. I have several of them that are that size and larger in my refugium.

Agree, I have a couple of 10"ers in my 10 and they aren't a problem.
