Friend or Foe?

Got a frag from a friend yesterday. Found this little guy in with it. Good guy or pest? It's about .5 inch long.

Baby bristle worm. Detritovore friend. My melanarus wrasse would have schlurped it off the frag plug like a strand of linguine off a saucy plate. When I bought him from Jofish, I watched him do just that (eat linguine!), pulling a several inch long bristle worm from a frag plug and sucking it down. My immediate response: "I'll take that one".

Yep, Bristle worm. A good guy unless they get enormous.
