I wish I could take all the bristle worms in my tank and watch them squirm in a vat of vinegar until they're dead. I hate those things!]]> Wed, 23 Oct 2019 16:32:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=636483&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#636483 <![CDATA[Bristleworm/fireworm sting? : Wow 8 years later!

Wow 8 years later! Lol
Rtv? 

I'd say the goal is to get as many species of worms as possible.

Maybe there are some species of aquarium worms about which I don't know, but from what I know, they shouldn't be there because of the RTV. Most harmful worms get into the aquarium with the help of a carrier. Maybe you bought some live rocks or corals which were not processed properly. That's the case of the Bobbit worms, which come from the Indo-Pacific ocean. On www.arcreef.com you can find more about them and how to remove (if they are the ones from your aquarium).

Wow are bristle worms that bad? I have handled them and never felt a thing. I was under the impression that they are relatively harmless. ]]> Sat, 18 Jun 2011 14:58:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=420557&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#420557 <![CDATA[Bristleworm/fireworm sting? : Mine have never gotten that big,...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=419454&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#419454 Author: Jeffatpm

Mine have never gotten that big, I got the big coralife glove to my shoulder, they also sell cheap ones at harbor freight.  Sorry to hear I know those stings suck!]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:31:47 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=419454&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#419454 <![CDATA[Bristleworm/fireworm sting? : Happen to me too!

Happen to me too!  Mine stayed swollen for about a week and a half and finally went down.  THEN... all the skin over the stung area peeled off.  It was really annoying!
I put anti-biotic ointment on it and wrapped it in a band-aid and it eventually got better.  I remember worrying that it was still bad after about a week but it eventually got better.

It sounds to me like you still have bristles ... A razor blade over the itchy part usually gets them out or duct tape Ibuprofen and benadryl are my remedies if it gets any worse or fails to get better see a doc I have been killed in an ER (Zapped when they did not need too ) so I avoid drs like noone else pm me if it does not get better and I will call my bro for you he is an RN / Coral farmer so he may be able to help ]]> Sun, 05 Jun 2011 23:47:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=418986&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#418986
