LOL...good old bristleworms.....good to have actually...they eat detrius and stuff like that

I think i counted at least 8 just swimmingg around the crush coral so not harmful to my clowns or shrimp

 

[meowzer]

NO...I personally don't like them...WHATEVER you do ....DON'T touch them....the bristles will sting you....If you have TOO many you can get a bristle worm trap and remove some....

They shouldn't...they don't mess with mine anyway....Just don't let them take over the tank...

what # do you consider counts as taking over i spotted 8 and i feel l like there taking over well thank you for everything

 

[meowzer]

LOL...If you see 8 you probably have more....they usually only come out at night....I have the trap, and I use it periodically just to keep them in check...

These are desirable in my view. However, you have fairly large particle size substrate. Not the best choice for a marine tank, especially one with substrate dwelling inverts.
