When I saw my first tiny bristleworm many months ago it didn't bother me much since I read that they are harmless when small.
Last night I saw 2 rather big ones, my guess would be around 6" or so when fully stretched out. This morning one of the big ones was still out, and I tried grabbing him with tweezers. GEES those things can move fast. He quickly retreated into a rock crevice/hole.
Here's my question: Should I continue and try to remove them or leave them be? Is it worth investing in a bristleworm trap? I've read some people have done the cokebottle, but what are the chanced I'll catch a peppermint shrimp or crab in that instead of the bristleworm?
Thanks so much for reading.
