bristle worms


over the last few days i have been seeing more bristle worms during the day. normally i never see them until night time but now they seem to be all over during the day....anyone know why?
i just bought 2 angels last night and 1 is missing. can that have anything to do with it?

nope they wont eat the angel. Most bristleworms found in the tank are good guys. They scavenge leftover food and help stir the sandbed

I dont think they would eat a live fish but if there is a body laying somewhere they would it it would they not.

they can have a nasty sting, dont use your fingers. You could try an arrow crab, they stay they will eat bristle worms but mine likes the brine shrimp instead.

The worms will eat the fish if it's deceased but won't bother a healthy fish. I doubt you will find the carcass if you have that many worms.
