good or bad for my reef

is this good or bad for my reef?

Spaghetti worms or hair worms are bad get rid of them they will get into ur zoas and continually run their arms over the polyps and cause them to close and die over time

 

[Uprising Rage]

This is not a Spaghetti worm!!

This is a bristle worm.

Im 90% sure they are fine. probably even good to have.

I have them in my tank and havent had any problems.

good thing i caught this on time b4 putting it in my reef, found this on a piece of rock i got from a breakdown, keeping that piece of rock out for now thanks

I've never had any real trouble from terebellid/spaghetti worms. My only complaint is that they tend to build up a small pile of schmootz near their home in the sand. Makes the sand-bed look a little dirty at times, but this is easily fixed.

Bristle worms are considered "reef safe" but in my experience can become a problem as well. For one they can sting you with their bristles. If they happen to be on a rock or under a piece of coral you pick up. They multiply very fast and they definitely can burrow into corals and steal their food as well as destroy the coral. I try to keep most critters out of my reef.

LOL Yea that's what I'm about to do probably get a melanarus or Christmass wrasse to handle these bristles because the arrow crabs are not able to keep up with the growing population
