I’m pretty sure this is a bristleworm based on the posts I’ve seen elsewhere but just want to confirm. I only seem them (2-3) at night if I quick when I turn the lights on. They are found on the one piece of live rock (currently finishing my first cycle). I also found one under the live rock when I picked it up to check what they were. What’s your thoughts? I’ve seen a mix on whether or not to leave them be. I kinda side with keeping them if they are indeed bristleworms.

Huge thanks in advance!

Yup bristle worm. Some people find them unsightly, but they play a very pivitol role on your CUC.
That’s what I’ve read. To me, I’d rather have a few ugly looking worms that I’ll probably never see than the ugly algae and other stuff that they would help prevent/help control!
