Bristle worm spawn videos

Here is a link to some youtube videos I just uploaded.

There are a total of 3 videos so just click on more from lockus13.....


This happened right before a long overdue tank cleaning. The dead coral is due to a PITA Maroon clownfish that is no longer in the tank.

I put in about 5 gallons of fresh ro/di water (for siphoning purposes and salinity adjustment) and within 5 minutes this was happening. It has happened before and I believe the 2-3 degree temperature shock from the topoff is what triggered the spawn. Luckily I had my camera handy. It became very cloudy due to the amount of worms spawning.
