Bristleworms
My tank has always had some bristleworms in the couple years it has been running, but they have started to really take over the live rock and sand now. They do an excellent job at keeping detritus at a minimum, and really help clean up excess food and waste, but are now starting to annoy my male seahorse.
On a couple occasions, I have had to pick bristleworms off of the seahorse. I've tried traps, but they don't seem to put a dent in the population. Recently, I have had to quarantine my seahorse due to what I believe is tail rot partially attributed to bristleworms munching on his tail. I have read that bristleworms can be contributors to issues like this.
Does anyone else have this problem? How did you get rid of the bristleworms? My seahorse is in QT right now so I am ready to try a more aggressive approach.
