Bristleworm dip?

[Dan Norgard]

I have hundreds of these guys in my 80g low-population reef. Hundreds.
They don't bother waiting for lights out to come out to play and are
starting to get curious about the Mushrooms...getting v-e-r-y curious.

Having been inspired by Marc I am about to tear it down and slide it into
the Livingroom/Garage wall. Would a 1-2 minute freshwater dip scare these
buggers out without harming the Coraline, dusters, etc?

Thanks,

Dan

Getting rid of their food source should help... dunk, swish, dunk, swish,
cover, wait, dunk, swish, dunk, swish, cover, wait, etc. (in sal****er). I
doubt a freshwater dip would get enough of them to be worth it and if the
food is there they would come back in same force. How loaded with nutrients
is your rock?

Shouldn'd be too loadee with nutriants...I feed quite sparingly and what
little gets by the fish falls to the substrate in front and is nabbed by the
snails (planned bombing runs). I'll try the dunk&swish method, though. It
makes sense.
Thanks,
Dan

Consider adding an arrow crab?

You can get some predators to keep them in check. They
won't eat all of them, but at least you won't have to see
them all the time. A few may appear when you feed your tank.

I used an Arrow Crab and a Longnosed Hawkfish for this, and
it worked out great.

While changing your tank to the new one, you can use a
powerhead to blow off all the detritus off the rockwork,
reducing the food source.

Won't the Arrowcrab eventually eat the small dusters and some of the corals?
Or do I just put him in the sump until his services are needed again? 8^)
Thanks,
Dan

Good enough for me. Thanks, Marc.

I can assure you that the bristle worms wont bat an eye at a few min in
fresh water. Picking them off one at a time was what I ended up resorting
to. They eventually were only found in the deep recesses of the rocks.

As you suggested, you can put them in a sump if needed.
Not all behave the same. Plan for the worst if happen.
