Hello, well i just brought back my tank from the US, and all went well at customs. Due to the fact the tank is currently set up as a preditor tank the bio load was tremendous with lots of nice (lol) stuff hiding out in the sand. The live rock (about 90 pounds) has nice color but this brings me to my question. The rock is literally laced with what I think are bristle worms, i have been picking them out for the last 6 hours a few were huge 7" long 1/2 in in diamator, other than the pick method what other cures do i have, thank you David

STOP!!!

Leave them in the tank...they are of GREAT benefit to the sandbed!!! People pay big bucks for them!

I have 1,000's of them and they help out the tank big time!!!

If you do plan on picking them all out.. put them in a bucket of saltwater and i will come and get them. I too have thousands of them in my system. Great cleaners.
