worm id please

[reb]

I purchased two pieces of live rock today. When I got home they were covered with about 7 pinkish reddish worms with hairs sticking out. I am guessing maybe bristle worms. What are they? If they are bristle worms should I throw them out, put them in my reef tank, or put them in my fowlr tank? Some are about an inch and some are about two or three inches.

I attached a pic from another member of bristle worms. The ones I see in my tank have a different coloration, but with either the bristles are there. Leave them be, they will be a great part of your clean up crew.

Just wondering do Brittle Worms hurt your corals?

I put three in each tank this morning.
