They are extremely long. 4-7 inches
Tan /white to brown coloration
Little "hairs" or legs on eah segment of body. Caught them crawling around some corals. Are they harmless. Or do I flush them?
 
bristle worms. great clean up crew. the small ones are harmless. but some can get really big then they may start causing problems.
 
When they are large enough to steal food from you crabs or brittle star. They gotta go. Lol I had one that was at least 6 inchs maybe larger. When it beat a large green brittle star in a tug of war for a silverside it was removed.
