    Bristle worm, member of the CUC, good for the tank, numbers are controlled by available food

    There is one species that is bad and it virtually never makes it to our tanks. 100%

    I have no idea just what I have read from the invert experts on our site. It usually grows to be a monster if I remember right. We are talking 1+ feet in length.
