Jim, I think I'm going to try and trap a few of these buggars tonight. I know most of you guys say they are benificial, but now, *every* time I feed my sun coral (after lights out) the B.worms are stealing the mysis right out of the coral's mouth. Since the BWs are pretty strong, guess who usually wins? I have spent about the last two hours reading info procured from a Google search, and get a lot of mixed opinions. General consensus seems to be they are of very little harm when they are small, but it is best to try and snag the really large ones from your system. Most of the best info came from Wet Web Media - Bob and Anthony seem to lean towards natural predators to keep them in check. Since I have to feed this sun coral at night (it only comes out when lights are off), and I don't want to add predators (to create an entirely different problem in the long run) I figure it couldn't hurt to dispose of "some" of these worms. I figure I will try the "shrimp in pantyhose" trap method, and see if I'm successful tonight. May even try and take some pictures of the process if anyone is interested.
