Sorry for your loss

That sucks Justin.

I would be tempted to try and bait his burrow tonight and see if maybe you have a monster sized bristle worm in there.

Very unfortunate indeed!

Thank you all very much. These things happen, the important thing I guess is to not be discouraged by it. I'm going to try to thin out my bristle worm population and try again. I think bristle worms are great scavengers and fairly harmless unless you've got a burrowing fish that is much more likely to run into them. Live and learn I suppose.

I have seen my six line wrasse eat a big a$$ bristle worm and the rock where he sleeps and the little bugger is right as rain. im sorry about your loss. Those BSJFs are awesome and its horrable that a hitch hiking SOB of a bristle worm could do that.

If it helps im working on a bristle worm trap ill let you know how it works and then post instructions on how to make it.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing your trap. I've been baiting them out with prawns and grabbing them with tweezers. So far I've removed 3, a good trap would be useful.
