Improvement of water quality, filtration, gravel cleaning, and the reduction of feeding, may be performed to bring detritus worm population back to normal. Detritus worms feed on excess food and waste, thereby contributing to the ecosystem of an aquarium.
They are abundant in estuarines of coastal areas, where their usual substrate arrives from terrestrial ecosystems in the form of detritus. [4] There are, however, some parasitic organisms present in the family. For example, Phycophthorum parasitizes pennate diatoms. [3] The QPX, of unknown genus or species, is a parasite of the hard clam. [5]
