    i agree with Dirty... they are good if you got a few here and there as they add to your cleanup crew eating wastes and stuff, it's when you have a population explode and they over run everything that it's a bad. just keep an eye on the amount of them and if you notice you got alot more than at first you might want to take action.

    harmless and a great addition to the clean up crew. They dont eat any thing or attack any thing thats living, they will only eat something once it has already died.

    Yep, what the others said, but don't touch it unless you want to get out the tweezers.

    Tweezers and vinegar. The vinegar will dissolve the bristle. If you have large numbers it means you are over feeding. Their populations are regulated by the amount of food they have.
