How To Catch....

[chrissaysyes]

I just dont get why you guys are so against bristle worms...I have some huge ones in my bigger tank and I love them, my roommates have even named them

Something ate my shrooms, and these guys are the only suspects.

 

[chrissaysyes]

How do you know something ate it though? From the description you gave it sounded more like the shroom just lost its footing.

 

[BoneSnapper]

Because as the shrooms were disappearing I saw the worm eating it.

as the man was dying, i saw the vulture eat it.

how can you be sure that the bristleworm killed it, it could just be eating its dead body.

 

[chrissaysyes]

It just doesnt add up. You have rock from a different part of the world than "fireworms" live, so that rules them out. Then bristleworms dont eat mushrooms, so that's not your culprit. Thats just not what they eat or how they behave. They are scavengers not predators.

Wait, where did he say what part of the world the rock came from. This did happen to one of the members of my club. Had a fireworm hitchhike in on some coral and it started selectively eating his mushrooms until he caught it in the act. He actually trapped it with mushrooms in the trap

 

[BoneSnapper]

I asked the guy at the store, and he said they get some of there mushrooms from the Carribean. The ones I selected happened to be from there.

I retract all previous statements and will later be unavailable for comment. My bad

 

[Lynden]

Well that's an interesting point, not hitchhiking on the rock, but on the coral. Still, do you see them out in the daytime? Are they a deep, fiery red or just dull pink/red?

 

[BoneSnapper]

If you look at a red Crayon, that is the type of red. They only come out at night.
