Well white goby tried to eat flat worm or brissle. Looked like a brissel and killed the goby. I tried to get the worm out by alg waffer it seems to like those but he was too quick. Any good ways to trap?

After some thought I think the best thing to do is start over with my 34. New sand (hope to help with the NO3's) new rock and aqua scape how I want it and build colonies for some fragging. So looks like my frag tank will have my rock and fish for a little bit until I get the 34 cleaned out and water parameters right. I will sell or give the rock away along with the brown and purple mushrooms.

After research it looks possible to be a fireworm: http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchworms.html

I may get an arrow crab first to see what happens.
