    I think I may have bristleworms.. They are really small and there are several in my sump. I also find a bunch in my filter floss under the overflow. Attached are some pics.... Are these bad?

    Those are amphipods, not bristleworms and they're good to have.

    They look nasty, but I guess they're good to have.
