madsalt Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have seen on other forums that they are good for a reef system. I actually saw several people trying to get their hands on some. I have not seen them in my display tank and maybe that is because of my copperband and several wrasses'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Versace, why do you say they aren't good? I have never heard that before. I have always heard they are a great part of your sand bed cleanup crew! What do they do that makes you say they are bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Personal opinion is they are good. I think some zoa keepers prefer not to have them as their constant search for food with their tentacles disturbs zoa colonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsalt Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Well like I said, I have only seen them in my sump. My huge ball of cheato is a plethora of life right now. I have those critters in there, massive amounts of pods and from what I saw about 7 or 8 brittle stars cruising around. I have not seen any of those worms in the main tank.

sethsolomon Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 +1 to good. They are a detritivore. I have several in my display and they hand out in the dead spots in my tank where excess food and detritus settles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several in my display and they hand out in the dead spots in my tank where excess food and detritus settles. That is where I see them in my sump. I have some spots up front where stuff collects and they seem to be collecting there. I just happened to catch one cruising on the glass so that is why I decided to grab the old phone and post a video asking what it was.
