Bristle Worm Trap with Window (Black)

The trap doesn’t include instructions and you have to know a couple of things. You need to use the same food in it that you have been feeding your tank. Set it on its side so the clear plastic faces outward (you can see the inside) and the worms come in through the sand. Once you figure that out…….wow. It’s extremely effective! We have been clearing it 2-3 times a day. This is a simple, inexpensive and effective product.

This thing is amazing! I started seeing a few worms in my tank, so I decided to buy this trap. Let me tell you that I had no idea I had such a bad infestation in my tank! I've literally caught hundreds, night after night!

I have tried multiple foods now over the span over several weeks and haven’t caught a single bristleworm. Absolute waste of money.

I have been trying to catch the elusive bristle worm for a couple of months now. It hitchhiked and has grown as my tank has matured. Tried an arrow crab and six line wrasse without success. I finally decided to do something about it before it got out of control. I used some raw shrimp and put it in the tank and nothing. I then used frozen brine shrimp with some raw shrimp on top to keep it from dispersing too quickly and the worm would go partially in the trap and then pull right back out. I was sure it was too big to fully go in. I tried again the next night with just shrimp again and nothing. Night 4, did the dual shrimp deal again and moved the trap far enough away that I felt the worm had to come fully out of the rock and would go into the trap. Bingo, and the pictures show just how big it is!! It was very squished in the trap and it took me a while to actually get it out but you can see it was about 6-7 inches long. No wonder my original solutions did not work! Use bait that you see your bristle worm already attracted to and I’d say you will be totally successful. I would recommend Print Reef to make a size larger (not the holes they go in but the box itself) to accommodate the monsters that are too smart for the other solutions! Definitely recommend!

This box looks to be well constructed and came packaged nicely with great instructions. I used it the first night with raw shrimp and was not successful with catching any bristle worms. The second night I did catch a few. The only issue I had was with getting it to stay submerged, even with the suction cup. I ended up placing something on top of it in the tank to keep it down.

Recently my bristle worm population in my reef tank has exploded and this product was just the solution I needed. This picture shows what I was able to grab on first night only after 1 hour. I figure a few more nights like this and I can remove a majority of the population. Product feels solid to be a 3d printed item and I appreciate the see thru lid. I utilized my normal fish food in the trap and seems to work great as a bait.

In the video it show the trap inside the tank not using the suction cup. I asked the seller about how to get this thing to not float away… there response was use the suction cup. However you lose 2 holes by attaching to the tank. Was really hopefully this thing would be helpful. I have to use a rock and place on top of the unit to get it where I want it.

Wow! We purchased a second one we were having such success!! We have a 190g tank with what we thought was a couple bristle worms. We started keeping track after buying the traps. We are up to 293 caught with these traps!!!
