I know bristle worms CAn be good, but when do they cross that line from a good thing to a bad thing? I was searching for a runaway zoo frag and wound up pulling out a tan bristle worm with little legs all along each side of his body. He's about 8" long, maybe a foot when he's stretched out. Should he get a ride on the toilet express? [-bigeyes2]

In my admittedly uneducated opinion YES!! I would say that if you have one that large that you probably have enough smaller ones and you won't miss it. Happy hunting!!

Hey! Worms are cool. As long as it is not eating any corals it is probably just a detrivore. I say leave that big bad boy alone. You might be able to see what he is up to if you look in the tank with a flashlight a couple hours after the lights have gone off.

Depends on the size of your tank and depth of the dsb. A larger worm can help in large tanks with deep dsbs. But I would probably get rid of it just in case. Those things multiply like crazy and you surely have plenty.

I've seen some posts and pics on Reefcentral of 6 footers - yours has a ways to grow yet! Do a search and check out the photos.
