Default Bristle worm hunter?

I agree...According to Shimek, there is something in the order of a
few thousand different types of worms, and out of this number there is
only a small handfull that would be considered problems, and
fortunately the majority of that handfull of worms are rarely
encountered in a home aquarium. They are scavengers at most, and are
very beneficial to a tank. They do more than what the average eye
sees, and usually when you wind up with a nice clean tank, they never
get the credit, as the snails and hermits usually do.....I have one
bristle worm about the size of a ball point pen......its huge. About
the only time I ever see any of my worms is at feeding time or after
lights out....I agree they do multiply if the conditions are right so
i do thin my stock of worms out periodically, but they do not get
flushed they get put in other tanks.
