Not true at all. They are beneficial cleaners, unless they get very large then they are not a problem. Fireworms are the only ones i would be worried about getting out.

To tell you the truth that doesnt even look like a bristleworm. Very weird, im not positive

Not a bristle going with a spaghetti worm ... great for you tank

Deff not spaghetti worm Google it. Then Google bristleworm

I dont agree with either Id not a bristle worm and not a spaghetti worm.

The worm pictured has no bristles, but instead random sparse hairs that are double the body width in length. Bristle worm have packets of hairs, almost like hundreds of straw brooms on its sides. In my opinion still unknown, ive dont many searches and nothing
