I was able to get rid of my red slime, I think I have gotten the aiptasia and I am waiting out the Isopod's. (The ones I have caught are still alive w/o any food going on 2 weeks now.)
However, I was down getting some water at the LFS and was talking to them about refugiums. He showed me one and there was a 2" bristle worm in there. He told me they were "good" for at tank and that they are only a problem when they over populate.
So, knowing that I bought some live rock from them 6 weeks ago I thought to myself "great, now I have to deal with this issue." I was wondering what the worm was that I found and killed a couple weeks ago. It was in a piece of rock from the LFS. Then yesterday I noticed another larger one in a piece of the rock from Florida.
I am frustrated to say the least. I do not want to deal with traps really right now. I was thinking of just getting a coral banded shrimp however, I do have 5 peppermints, 20 or so hermits, 10 nass snails and 5 small snails. Will the coral banded go after them?
I don't want the shrimp long term. I just want it in there for a couple months until I am fairly certain the bristle worms are gone.
Comments or suggestions anyone?
