not a good thing from what i have just read

[Vincenzo.]

not at all. and dont touch it with bare hands, the bristles have a sting. hence the name fire worm.

would you believe i found two more of these guys tonight. is this normal?? what do i do to get rid of them?

[Vincenzo.]

keep picking them out. or you can try to take a few LR out and do a FW dip.

would a six line wrasse help?
don't they eat bristle worms?

I had a banded shrimp that loved bristles...
