Question

Good Or Bad ???


I have recently started seeing a number of bristle / fire worms...some large some small some medium... im assuming they came with my live rock ... i have heard that they can kill fish and or corals...just wondering if they are a good thing to have or a bad thing....they only come out at night and for aonly a brief second from what i can see...if they are good how do i stop them from over taking the tank over and if they are bad what do i get to take cvare of them or how can i get rid of them...i have a scarlet shrimp and heard they might go after them but i also heard a coral bandid shrimp love to hunt these lil fellas...any ideas or thoughts on these lil guys ??? thanks for any info !!!

They are good, Some people want them, I don't like them in my tanks but have never had one hurt anything.
