Shout if your tube thing doesn't work and you want to try it.

I've got two traps in the tank now, we'll see which catches the Tremors monster.

There's a PVC pipe trap:


And a pantyhose trap:


I baited them both with krill. I thought the pantyhose thing would be lame, but it has potential. I can shove it down in where the worm hides, instead of hoping he venture toward the pipe.

If I could easily catch my six line I would let you borrow him. I havn't seen a bristle worm in years.

It will be interesting to see what works. If you have nassarius snails and they are small enough to fit in there, they will probably beat out the bristle worm. Well see...Good luck.

I added a six line a while back. He keeps the little ones in check so that they don't grow into monsters. But this one giant worm probably scares the wrasse. It kinda scares me.

The nassarius I have are the small species, but full grown... so they can't fit into the pipe. They probably could manage to eat the bait in the pantyhose, but so far they have left it alone. I'm assuming that's only because it's up in the rock, not on the sand bed. Hermits are desperately trying to get to the krill, but there doesn't appear to be any damage done to the pantyhose yet.

can't wait to see the pic of it trapped!!!

The only thing the pvc trapped was a rowdy smell. I mean, wow. It was bad.

I got my hopes up with the pantyhose... I saw little specs and hoped it was some worms. Turns out it was just krill eye balls.

I'm going to wash everything out and air out the house, then try again.
