bristle worm

they are a good part of your CUC unless they get too big. Dont touch them with bare hands. Those hairs are like fiberglass and will get under your skin. It can be pretty painful.

thanks for the quick replys can they hurt my coral, anemones, or anything else in a reef tank....

The bristles generally don't bother corals/fish/inverts
