Fried bristleworm

[Paul B]

Yesterday I watched a 4" bristle worm get cozy with the glass heater. He wrapped around it like a boa constrictor and seemed comfortable.
Then the heater came on and bristle worms are not really good jumpers so he fried.
The arrow crab who loves fried foods walked over and unwrapped the worm and has been feasting all night.

how big is that arrow crab? do you find it to be reef safe? i've read stories of larger ones nipping at clams or eating small weakened fish.

That clownfish is about 3" long so you can figure the size of the arrow crab. He is averaged sized

I've wanted to get one but I've also heard how they love to eat feather dusters. Thats the only reason I havent gotten one too
