Small Bristle Worm Trap

This is a "small" and "extra small" trap for catching bristle worms in nano tank saltwater home aquariums. If you do not know what a bristle worm is do not Google it unless you want nightmare fuel!

All the traps I found online were too big for my nano saltwater tank so I experimented with how small I could make one and have it still be effective. If the inlet is too close to the bait the worms just stay outside while they eat. Too close to the walls and they will escape.

The "Small" version was as compact as I could make it and still catch everything. The "extra small" version will better fit in small spaces between rocks but some of the larger worms may not be caught.

To use:
1) Cut a chunk of raw shrimp that will fit inside the bait cell. (I buy two or three shirmp from the seafood counter at the grocery store and freeze them)
2) Put the shrimp in the cell.
3) Place the body and the lid separately into your aquarium and close the lid underwater so no air is trapped insi
