Bristle Worms

I have recently discovered I have at least three Bristleworms living in one of my rocks. They are a fleshy colour with tufts of fine, white fur-like bristles. I know some can be good for a tank, but I have seahorses, and I'm not sure if the worms will harm them.
Should I get rid of them?

I tend to agree with Bang Guy on BWs and SH, however, in a few rare cases where there were lots of BWs feeding on mysis in the bottom of SH setups, SH have snicked up a worm, which has killed them since their inner snouts became inflamed.
Bottom line here is keep an eye on the population of BWs and remove any that come out to "share" at feeding time. If this gets to be tuff, I recommend using a raised feeding station for the SH.
