Worm ID
Sorry for no pics cuz the worm is small sized. But I have two worms that are red and black colored with white spines coming out the side. I was wondering if this is a beneficial bristelworm or something dangerous.

When in doubt, take it out. Sounds like a bearded fireworm. This is something you do not want in your tank. They are fierce preditors and should be removed [acronym:6469cdc0b3="As soon as possible"]ASAP[/acronym:6469cdc0b3]. Care not touch them.
