bristleworms...

[gthaefner]

Hello everyone!
I read through many of the posts and I see people talk about bristleworms, and copepods in their tanks. How can I tell if I have these in my tank? Is it possible that I don't have any because I never see any little crawlers in my tank? I have a 35 g tank with 35 lbs of live rock and maybe a 2 in. live sand bed. Is it a bad thing if there are none? I just feel a little left out. lol
Thanks!!

If you have a smallish sized rock sitting on the sand bed, lift it up. I bet you you'll see tons of bristleworms writhing around underneath the rock. Like Bri said, they normally only come out at night.

You're not being left out.Many pods are the size of a needle point.You may to look very closely and a night for them.Most of them are noturnal.
