DUPLA - Worm X - Polychaete Trap

All marine aquariums are populated by polychaete worms. Most of them live in hiding and often only show up at night or when you feed your fish and corals.

If the corals or anthozoans show bite marks, it is possible that they have been attacked by polychaetes. It is then no longer necessary to delay and bring a flashlight to examine the aquarium at night. And if a few of these annoying little worms are discovered right away, it is best to remove them from the aquarium before they can cause even more damage.

Trying to catch worms with tweezers is usually not helpful, as they are often cut in half - and each part can grow and form a new worm. In addition, it is absolutely necessary to avoid grasping the polychaete worms with the hand, since the small “sistles” can cause skin irritations that can persist for several days. The easiest and most effective way to catch these worms is to use a polychaete trap. The polychaete trap.

Principle of operation of the Worm X polychaete trap:

1. Open the polychaete trap on one side.
2. Drop some food (krill, mysis, Dupla Eeze or some shell meat) in the middle part of the polychaete trap and reassemble the trap.
3. Place the Worm X polychaete trap where you have observed polychaetes.
4. Polychaetes are nocturnal. It is therefore advisable to install the Worm X polychaete trap in the evening and remove it in the morning. Avoid touching polychaetes, as their bristles can cause painful wounds.
