Bristle or Eunice worm?

Noticed a few of these in the tank. The ones I've seen are tiny so I'm thinking it may have been eggs on a frag :/

I've sucked 3 out so far and missed two >.<

I really want to believe they are baby bristle worms but...

What say you?

Maybe a Dorvilleidae?

Whew! Then I can stop persecuting them!

Oops! I guess I should have said +1

There are soooo many of them crawling around in there now...

I had a pile of them a few months ago. I can only find the occasional one now.

I did a water change last night and seem to always suck up some of the sand. And I thought it would be fun to pull out some creepy things to look at under the scope. And I found what I believe to be Dorvilleidae worms.

Are they dangerous? Can they attach themselves to fish?
