Quality of PetSolutions Live Stock
Hi guys, I'm a newbie to this Forums and I had a Reef Tank for about 2.5 years now. Something really bad happen recently so I just want to share it with you guys...
Here is the Email I'm sending to PetSolutions for questions about their live stock Hi, My name is Jim, and I'm been a customer of PetSolutions for more than 2 years. I recently purchase some live stocks from you guys (order# 3xxxxx), I had not purchase anything to add into my Saltwater system for more than 6 months and I keep my tank in a healthy condition. But something shocks me today as I'm feeding my anemone like I do everyweek. When I was watching it consume the food, I saw two Bristal Worms approaching to the anemone and took the piece from it. I never see those guys before I put the new live stock in my tank, and they are longer than 6 inches. I'm sure they came with the order from you guys. What should I do now? My Whole tank is under a risk including my Corals, Inverts, even small Fish. I would like to find out why there are two hramful worms coming together with my order? Thanks Please tell me what do you guys think? |

bristle worms shouldnt harm anything in your tank. i think you also have no way to prove you got these worms from their shippment.

What did you buy from them?
I agree that the bristleworms likely aren't harmful. Most are good to have. 6" isn't very large, all in all. Live rock tends to be full of them. This article discusses the animals: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-04/rs/index.php

Hmm, if any of them came on live rock, they might have had worms with them. Bristleworms are very, very common in saltwater systems.
