Bristle worm / watchman goby / pistol shrimp relationship

[sarinaruu]

so this is interesting, when feeding my goby and pistol shrimp whom were both out, a bristle worm came out with them! it was touching the goby and he didn’t even seem to mind and when the goby went in the burrow it did too.

i waited for it to come out enough and managed to yoink it out though! it was about 2 inches. i never know the best way to get rid of them but i flushed it if anyone has a better disposal way let me know please!
