I have a 35 gallon saltwater tank and i have had it for almost a year now. the past few water changes i have noticed that i clean my tank and it seems like the tank doesnt get clean, and today i noticed i have little ( i donnt know how else to describe them) but worms in my tank the are about 1-2 cm in size and they look like little centipedes. I got an answer form some one but i just wanna make sure they said that they are bristle worms. I guess my question is are the dangerous to my fish, my tank, also i do not have live rock i have coral so idk can some one steer me in the right direction thank you...

welcome newbie they are bristle worms and they are great. usually a sign of overfeeding. they will dwindle over time. the cleaner shrimp you just got may help with the overfeeding they are pigs once they get brave

you have coral but no live rock?
