Are bristle worms good or bad?

[billhig1]

I just looked in my tank and found a pretty large bristle worm eating at the bottom. Should I remove it ASAP? It is a pinkish color.

Leave it alone. It's a good scavenger to have.

1 to 12 inches no problem.

Thanks. It is probably around 5 to 6 inches. It was 1 to 2 inches a month ago. Ill keep it in there until it gets to big.

The danger varies with the species, not the size. This article might help:

I have to agree with what has already been said...consider yourself lucky. Not all of us are graced with free cleaners!
