Is this guy a bristle worm?

[grantman]

Like so many things in this hobby some people say they are good and some people say they are bad. I really hate it when I take my flashlight to my tank and find scary looking things that I have never seen before in there. I guess I should stop taking a flashlight to my tank then huh. Anyways is this guy a bristle or not?

Are these things like cockroaches. If I see one then I have hundreds?

mmm potentially you have alot. if your tank is young then probably not unless the rock you bought had alot of them, or the sand. one be careful not to touch them, the spines feel like a bazillion splinters. two, the one you have is harmless and will help clean your tank. i'd leave him alone unless he manages to get humongus. there are some that are destructive but from what i've seen are much more showy and yours is the garden variety kind....
