Looks like one to me, I dint get these in my tank as my sand sifting star enjoys eating them.
Looks like one. Only have to worry about the blood red colored ones. The purple/pink types like you have there, are harmless (unless you touch them).
Yep, a useful member of your cuc

Cheers Barney.Yeah another one, probably smaller/younger.
There are species that will eat corals but these are extremely rare in the home aquarium (don't think I have ever met anyone who actually had them as hitch hikers).
As above they are good members of the CUC and will be able to get to left over food and detris that snails and hermits couldnt. My nano tank is absolutely crawling in them as it only has 1 fish in there (a small clown goby) and the tank is regularly over fed (not recommended normally but its more set up as a pod culturing station at the moment).
Just seems lately I'm finding stuff I never knowingly put in there all the time. Cool!
Sounds like an idea! Cheers.Yep I 3rd that most bristleworms found in our tanks are good guys {CUC}. They scavenge leftover food and help stir the sandbed.
(But don’t touch them! Always wear gloves when your hands are in the tank)

Put some food pellets in your tank after lights out and watch the fun with a red flashlight. Wooo-creepy!
Ok maybe my starfish doesn't eat bristleworms. I've just seen one about 10cm long crawling around, unfortantly for the worm my 3 cleaner shrimp saw him aswell. He died fighting.
