Good bye to Fan Worms
I have to many fan worms in my tank. I dont mind a couple. I know that it comes from over feeding but i have corrected this.
Does anyone know of any solution to ridding these eyesores? (Atleast to me they are) |

Too Many? Do you have a picture? How many is too many?
A Copperband Butterfly will get rid of them... But you know... People pay for them... You might want to try and sell them to the LFS... I would like to see a picture if you have one. |

Ya I hate em but also! BUT.....
Got 2 perpermint shrimp to try to fight em. I think I saw them in eating them once and thats it never happened again. Next step would be to upgrade to the copperband. But my advice around the moderatatly reef safe fish is that it can be a hit or a complete miss. And I can tell you that having a fish that feeds on your expansive corals is a worst heartache than fan worms. I use to have an elbi dwarf angel (so cute) that ate through 2 clams and some plate corals until I was so fed up that I tore down the owl tank just to catch him. |

fanworms - feather dusters - same difference... If the Copperband has as many feather dusters as you say to eat, I don't think you will have a problem with him attacking your coral.
After he kills all your feather dusters, you can feef him blackworms. |
