bristle worm . . . fire worm . . . whatever

A good rule of thumb is to leave everything alone until you've seen it cause trouble.

Worms are almost always good---crabs that hitchhike are almost always bad.

Can't say it's 100% for the species, but I have a spotted hawkfish

that I've seen slurp down bristleworms like spaghetti.

CORAL BANDED SHRIMP WILL EAT THEM LIKE CRAZY. I HAVE A PAIR OF THEM IN MY TANK AND I WISH I CAN SEE SOME WORMS, BUT I DONT TOO OFTEN!!

Bristle worms are a subset of fireworms, only one species is known to predate on anything in the aquarium, the bearded fireworm. You have a very common variety that is nothing but good for your tank. Stop feeding so much though, like freshwater pond snails huge populations are a sign of over feeding.
