Aloha,
They will devour dieing fish, just like Bristleworms. I rarely remove animals, but that is one that I would remove. These
large worms can be ravenous coral eaters. Some are called Fireworms
because of their fiery red color, but I once removed a
green Bristleworm that was eating coral. It's body was the diameter of a pencil and just as long.
Bridal
Veil material is great for catching and removing them. Place a piece of
shrimp/cube of frozen shrimp in a loosely bunched up square foot of the fabric. The Bristleworms crawl in
and can't get out quick enough when the fabric ball is retrieved.
Sorry, the pics are so creepy (but fascinating
)
