Bristle worms

[Ethan9696]

So I’ve heard a lot about this from both sides. A couple in the tank can be good, too many bad. But I read there’s a type of bristle worms that is always bad and will kill inverts. I had never seen a bristle worm in my tank until today. I was curious which kind y’all thought it was and A. Good kind, let it stay in. B. Bad kind take it out or C. It’s a bristle worm, always get them out. Thanks in advance!

There’s only 1 type of bristle worm. The bad ones your talked about are fireworms. Hard to tell from the pic

He looked a little red which is why it’s got me worried. He’s in the cave under all of my rock so what’s the best way to get it out or kill it without taking out all of my rock to catch it?

Tweezers or a trap
