cbb? what does that mean

copperband butterfly fish. took out ALL my bristleworms, i didnt want it to but they are its natural food(one of many) it will also eat pods and mysid shrimp so watch out if you are wanting to keep those.

why do you want to get rid of your bristleworms???

I dont want to get rid of them..i was just wanting to catch them and move them to my refugiam. I have one bristle worm i think is about 4 inches long or longer even. he is about the diameter of your mouse cord.

I have never tried this but maybe you could try to syphon it out..just be quick!

put on some rubber gloves and grab it. You can grab them with your fingers but you'll have to pick out the little bristtles. Kinda like grabbing a cactus.

They end up in places i cant get to. and they are too far down in my tank for me to put on a strategy for me to get a good look at them to catch them

Can you put some food in a jar? Mine see to come out when shrimp hit the tank.
