	Polychaete Annelid Identification, or “You Can Always Tell A Bristle Worm by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - ...
		Segmented worms by their very definition are comprised of similar appearing body units or segments, and while it is always useful to be sure of the basic segment shape and structure, it is often most useful to examine those segments that differ from the "average" segment.
		Although annelid worms are made with the classic "tube within a tube" construction of long wormy animals anywhere, the front end of the inner tube, or gut, does not occur at the absolute front end of the animal, but rather a short distance back.
		The front end of the worm is typically a small bulbous projection called the "prostomium" which is joined with a normal segmental boundary to the subsequent body region, called the peristomium.

	Bristle Worm Removal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although the "fancier" models may work and may remove some of the undesirable animals, including bristle worms, I find that hobbyists seem to get the best results with home made models that cost very little and appear to be more effective than the more expensive ones.
		Why they are more effective has to do with their design and with the fact that they often can be adjusted by the hobbyists according to what he or she wants to trap (as we shall see in the next section).
		If you have observed your aquarium at night, which you should have done, and know the approximate location (hiding space) of the worm(s), that is where you should place the trap, or at least as close to that area as you can.

		The myth that bristle worms are dangerous in reef tanks is a classic case of a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing.

		Bristle worms are actually helpful scavengers who will help to eat up leftover food and detritus in your tank.
		But if you feel their numbers are too great and make your tank look unslightly, I would suggest a six-line wrasse or a coral banded shrimp to keep their numbers in check.
		Bristle worms population is controlled by the amount of food available for them......if you overfeed, are overstocked, have alot of detrius, then you will have a high BW population.

	"Oh, those Horrible Worms".... - .::AquariumPros.ca::.
		Bristle worms are related to the common earthworms in their basic anatomy.
		Bristle worms differ from earthworms by being mostly found in marine environments, whilst earthworms are mostly terrestrial.
		Probably the most obvious difference between these types of annelids, though, is the presence of appendages all along the sides of the bristle worm’s body.

	Question about bristle worms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Please give me some suggestions as to eliminating bristle worms from live rock in my reef tank.
		Find where they are by looking in the tank with a flashlight after the lights have been out for a couple of hours.
		That will work if you place bait inside and tie it off like a small bundle with some loose nylon for their legs to get hooked in, again with the fishing line and flashlight.You have to wait and keep checking with the flashlight.

		Saw a small worm, lots of legs, what I saw was about 3 cm long, extremely thin, no wider than your typical pencil lead, and when it pulled back under the rock it had an orange tail, which was spread out much like the tail from a Lysmata sp.
		The worm itself had legs on either side, on every segment, and was a fl or dark color of some kind.
		We saw an earlier post about a Eunice worm, and your advice was to get Peppermint shrimp to control the little ones, while attempting to trap the big ones, as these are known problem creatures in the tank.
