The bristlenose catfish is a hard working algae cleaner, tolerant, peaceful, and is happy to demonstrate its spawning and parental care in the aquarium.
The bristle worm Hermodice carunculata feeds on gorgonians (as well as other cnidaria). This one has just consumed the tip of a branch of Pseudoplexaura.
BREEDING BRISTLENOSE CATFISH, Ancistrus sp. by Annie Woods
Summary: Bristlenoses are good algae eaters and like a diet of fresh steamed vegetables, supplemented by bloodworms, and fibre from driftwood. They need caves in which to hide and spawn.
FOREWORD: Bristlenose (and all the others) catfishes always fashinated me, to the point I, eventually, decided to visit their homeland (the Amazon Basin) and before, during, after this trip I kept studying these unbelievable, "ugly" fishes.
Care: Like all bristle nose Catfish, these fish are easy to keep, peacefull, and eat algae. They are quite hardy, and are suitable for the community tank.
Certain fish in the bristletooth family (related to Tangs) also eat diatoms a lot, like the Striped bristletooth,
Ctenochaetus striatus.
We finally decided on the Ghost knife, two angel fish, two bristlenose's, a coolie loach and a red-tail shark, all of which were small babies at the time of purchase.
Inspect each rock for the presence of bristle worms and remove any if found
It is a good idea to remove any plant growth such as algae
Arrange the live rock in the aquarium.
The Bristlenose or Bushynose Plecos of the genus Ancistrus possess, as their common names imply, numerous projections from the area between their eyes and mouth. Within each species the bristles are larger on the male, especially near breeding.

You will probably want to take a stiff bristled brush (which has not been used with household cleansers or other dangerous chemicals) and scrub down the item to make sure you have removed anything that can be removed - this may also expose that ...
You will need to scrub the live rock with a brush that has plastic bristles (old tooth brush) to remove any obviously dead or dying organisms. You can do this directly in the tank. Siphon up the debris and then refill with pre-mixed saltwater.
As time goes by you will find that some undesirable animals (if there are any) will crawl out of the rock (this is a good way to get rid of bristle worms, mantis shrimp and stone crabs).
Any invertebrates including: mantis shrimp, bristle worms, and crabs, will quickly evacuate from the rock into the bucket of water. Bristle worms still attached to the rock can be removed with a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers.
Two common types that are useful are the "bristle-nose plecostomus" and the "clown plecostomus" or Pekoltia. Both stay under 4″ long and don't seem to cause too much plant damage.
Chaetae - Hairlike bristles in worms. They can be very long, several times longer than the width of the body or just protruding from the body. These are mostly microscopic and difficult to see at less than a magnification of 100x.
In comparison with a typical plec, a bristlenose is typically shorter (15 cm or less), more flattened and fatter with a comparatively wider head.
One of these smaller plecos is the Bristlenose pleco (shown above), which only reaches 4 or 5 inches in length. There is little that can match the appetite of a pleco and they will keep your tank walls crystal clear.
Bristlenose plecostomus leave most fine leafed plants alone, but demolish the wide leaves of sword plants in particular.

Some example of algae eating fish are Bristle Noses and Clown Plecostomus'. This will be a big help to you in keeping the algae under control. Another type of freshwater fish are the Oscars.
They look like little worn out art brush bristles. If you don't bother them, the strands can grow quite long. Better names for these guys would be gloom and doom. This is what I consider the worst thing that can happen to a plant tank.
