    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Keeping marine worms?

Specifically, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about keeping marine sandworms/clamworms (whatever the common name is, Polychaete worms of genus Nereis). I know they're sold a bait for marine fishing, but I'm more interested in keeping them alive, and wondering how to do so. I know they'll eat nearly anything, and require salt water, but what else? Should I put in aeration, even though they don't have a respiratory system (they accomplish gas exchange through diffusion across the body wall and parapodia)?

Are there any books just on keeping marine invertebrates that would get me started (I've never done marine before)?
