    They are beneficial detrivores, a good member of your clean up crew. Just don't touch the bristles, they can leave a painful sting.

    Are you sure their bristle worms? They are usually pink and greyish, here's a pic just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, it's figure A -

    I have something similar that seems to be eating spots on my galaxia.I really don't want to dip it in anything because it has some feather dusters and a lot of sponge growing on the under side.Any suggestions?
