I'm asking because I want to keep the Bristleworms.

Titanfan,

Thanks for the link. I had already read it, as well as another article on the fish, so I'm aware that it is quite difficult. Neither of the articles addressed my question (to my surprise). I pride myself on high quality water, have a dsb, and skim with an AquaC EV-180 on a lightly stocked 75G tank. I have 4 fish, the largest of which is a flame angel. This would be the final fish. I feel prepared to meet the needs of the fish, and I appreciate that you would want to make someone aware of the challenges involved. I wish I could find a difinitive answer regarding the fate of bristleworms, but my feeling is that a small/young one may not challenge them. And as he grows older, may not develop interested in them.
