AH! Kona ate a bristleworm!!

[Sharkie]

:( :( :( I hope hes going to be okay, there are spines all over his face!!

I'm not sure WHY he decided to eat the thing, he just saw it on the rock and *WHAM* half eaten bristleworm! it was crazy all wriggling and hitting konas face :(


does anyone know if those nasties are toxic to eat? i know that some animals eat them but i'm a bit worried....

Kona will be fine.:D
I've seen the eels at the store eat thousands of bristle worms and never had any ill effects from it.

He will be OK.

I have a Boxer Shrimp that has caught a couple of those bristlies and it was great to see him tearing it in half
Main problem I have at the moment is Flatworms - sods have killed my torch coral so I took it out and it ws covered in them
Have been busy siphoning them off the glass for the last few nights - I do wonder what I used to do before I had the tank sad sod?

I have a new Pyjama Wrasse that hopefully will eat them pesky worms

Sixline wrasses are constantly hunting for bristleworms specifically. That is one of their main natural foods.

What/who is kona if you don't mind
