Bristle worms and anemone

F

Frogspawn

I've read one blurb about bristleworms being a predator of anemones. If that's the case I can see why I failed in my last attempt.

I know I have BW's because I've been told and read so many times that they are actually good for the tank, so I've left them alone.

However, if those in the know about this subject could enlighten me otherwise, I will go on the hunt to erradicate them so I can house a BTA.

Thanks,
 
Sorry to keep posting pics of this tank in half the threads out there, but...

There are 100's to 1000's of bristle worms in this tank:

Now, the term "bristle worm" could actually be one of many many species of worm, but the VAST majority of them are harmless to all, including anemones...
 
I've never seen/had a problem with ours co-existing. We have 2 RBTA's in the reef with bristleworm in rocks just 6-8" away the last I saw. I'm pretty sure there are more worms in the rockrock near the the 'nems and clownfish, but I haven't been looking for any and/or seen them myself.
