Question
my live rock and sand has alot bristtleworms how can i get rid of them? they keep killing all my fish.

Answer
hi candy,

   go to about.com home site. click on hobbies ands games. on the next page you will find saltwater aquariums at the very bottom left. this will lead you to the site run by stan and debbie hauter. There are several articles on types of bristleworms and how to get rid of them I have some in my tank but they are the harmless variety. they eat the "garbage" that winds up at the bottom of the tank. Even these harmless ones will eat a fish, but usually after it succumbs from some other cause.

                            good luck, gerry
