So I've got these small feather duster worms that proliferate and I'm beginning to wonder if they were a mistake :(

They came in on a tonga live rock with a bunch of mushrooms and helped the tank look 'more natural'.

Now I'm finding egg streams every morning and picking them out of corals...

Not sure I have any options other than manual 'thinning'...

Some folks like dandelions, do you?

Good link for what else the copperband butterfly would eat? They're pretty fish, but worried what else they may chow on!
 
Good news! All the eggs I've been seeing are not from the worms!

At this point, I'm going to reduce reef chilli / reef roids frequency and manually 'pluck' where unattractive and see how it goes.
