Any facts about the ghost bristle can’t find anything on the web don’t wanna get struck by one lol
 
Don't touch it, that's it.

Great scavengers, basically pipe cleaners for your rock, they're just one of the primary reasons we dont reach in our tanks at night without gloves, we all have them.

If you do happen to touch one, it's like those really fuzzy yellow cone flowers in your garden that have those bristles and when you touch them they get in your skin and difficult to get out. Same concept where as fire worms actually have venom and burn. To remove the bristles, curl up a piece of tape and gently rub from the side (never press down) and lift them up.
