Habe diesen Wurm gerade in einer Größe von über 1,20 cm aus dem Aquarium entfernt, da er alle Weichkorallen, Gorgonien, Euphilia-Korallen, höheren Algen, Xenien und.... verspeist hat.
Schlangenseesterne, Anemonen, Krustenanemonen und
Scheibenanemonen hat er allerdings verschmäht...
Der Wurm passt in eine Borstenwurmfalle auch vom Durchmesser nicht! Schillert von der Unterseite sehr schön. Liegt jetzt in Spiritus... In riesigen
Aquarien ernährt er sich vielleicht überwiegend von Aas? In meinem 500 liter Becken war er ein
Vielfraß!
