Fireworms

[AlexF762]

Does anyone have tips on fire worm removal? I have been manually removing them with tweezers when I see them, but there's too many. There are bristle worms and fireworms in my tank. I know most of them are beneficial scavengers but I really suspect some of the fire worms have been eating some of my Zoas. There's also at least one eunid(sp?) worm on there, real nasty looking.

Id look into wrasses. My six line was nice and fat from all the fireworms in my tank

Purple Pseudochromis and long nose hawkfish. But just like Copperbands eating Aptasia it may be a hit or miss.

Thanks.
I have a 6-lined and a fairy wrasse. They may or may not be helping but it's the bigger ones I'm more worried about I see them close to the Zoas. I also have an arrow crab I've seen him take a few. I'm trying to get them cleared out some before I move into the bigger tank I bought. I may try the hawk after I move though!

Just be careful with them bad boys. I got stung once and **** that was painful.
