Bristle worms are scavengers, they eat detritus, dead fish and dead coral. A valuable asset to have in our reef tanks. They will eat dead coral, many see this and think they are to blame for the loss of the coral. The same goes for fish. Their just cleaning up, and they are very effective and fast in this task.
