Anemones (BTA) and Bristle worms - are they compatible?

[Labora]

I am doing a tank transfer and found a bunch of bristles on the rock.

I read that they are good for tanks at it's core because they eat detritus and uneaten food so I was thinking about transferring them over.

This is where it gets conflicting for me: how do they affect anemones?

I've read anywhere from that they won't touch Anemones, to they will only eat unhealthy Anemones, to they will absolutely kill a healthy anemone.

So I'm hoping since it's been many years from some of those threads/literature, it is more clear.

Should I or should I NOT add The bristles into the new tank with the Anemones?

Zero problems here. If it’s healthy it’s safe from bristle worms. My experience is they only clean up dead things.

I think fire worms will eat anemone but bristle don’t care only eat dead things
