Help... Critter ID please, bristle worm?

[Fudsey]

I moved a piece of rock and found this worm, is it good or bad? It's about 1.5 to 2 inches in length.

Looks like a bristle worm to me. Usually not an issue.

I put it my qt tank for now. I just wanted to know if it's OK to put back in the DT tank or should I just discard it?

They usually don't cause any problems and are a good part of the cleanup crew. I would put it back in the DT.

Well I put him back in the DT late last night and quickly covered it over with some sand so it should be OK but I guess I might never know one way or the other :)

You will know when it gets to be over a fool long and corals go missing!!
