The worms showed up in a piece for rock from a 'friend'. Be aware
they multiply REALLY FAST. I think the arrow crab was weak. Never
really sure how to pick our a fish. Many of them from one store have
a hard time surviving, not sure why. My tank tests perfect for all
levels.

I have not cleaned it in months and its sparkly clean. Its in our
store and I get many compliments. Its mainly to keep the kids amused
while we selll stuff to the parents. Rarely do the kids pound on the
glass.

PS - can I email you directly the pictures?

Same here. Also, with the sporging (useless emails) it's also good to
whitelist people. I have message filters set to put a star next to
people with something intelligent to say. I just added you to mine.

As for bristle worms, I'm looking to add some to one of my tanks. I've
been having a bit of detritus build up, so they are generally considered
beneficial.

It's possible that your arrow crab was weak or already dead. I can't
imagine one succumbing to worms as they can easily move away. Just like
coming across a dead animal in the woods covered in maggots. It's
unlikely the maggots killed the animal, but they are doing their role in
nature to clean up the carcass.
