Too many worms?

[Gigaah]

I'm as of yet still of the belief that bristle worms are relatively harmless and are in fact very fantastic clean up crew...BUT..when I feed its like my rocks just come alive sometimes. Its pretty close to creepy. Yet I guess sorta ok with it seeing as they snap up any piece of food that finds a resting spot on the bottom.

So I'm curious to know what people think about having lots and lots of them. Obviously you can really only sort of control their population..and that its self takes a lot of effort and still makes just a small dent for awhile.

cut back on feeding, and they stop procreating. You will have to manage them this way, I am not a fan of these though, but they are as you say harmless, and do not hunt.

They can get HUGE..that's when they become a nuisance. Just keep watch of them.

Yeah... like up to 16 inches. Careful with them.
