fireworms

Question
how can i get rid of firewoms.  thanks for your help

Answer
Hi Clay,

I am big on natural predation, and not the use of chemicals. Fish like the Halichoeres chrysus sp. (Yellow Coris) https://www.bluezooaquatics.com/prod...d=1031&cid=289 are a natural predator and a beautiful fish - buries in the sand at night - and is a beautiful bright lemon yellow.

Six-line Wrasse will also work on these worms. If you research Wrasse Species, you will find many that are a good predator for these worms. Make sure you are looking at reef safe, if your system is a reef.

If you google "Wetwebmedia" you can get a lot of information on these worms.

An alternative method would be to manually remove them through a baited pest trap. Some have even used (baited) stockings for successful removal.

I wish you luck in all your saltwater endeavors!

Regards,
Dave
