Bristle worms

[SYLVERXRS]

First off I just want everybody to know how appreciative I am that you guys are here. I don't know where I would be without you. Now to the question at hand. I just wanted to know what bristle worms do and if they are good or bad? I just found three in my tank and was curious.

TIA

They're detrivores and fine to be in the tank.

Some are bad most are good. If it starts killing corals and the like throw him out.

I kinda like watching mine...Just dont go touching them...I hear they irritate the skin

Unless you catch one nipping at a coral (which is rare) leave it in .
