Hi, I’ve got a tank that’s almost finished fallowing so I’m pretty excited. Over the course of the last 3 weeks I’ve seen a few worms in my tank and saw that they’re probably bristle worms but I just want to be 100% sure. Today, next to my sun coral I saw a big worm and was wondering if something like this could do any damage to future fish/inverts. It’s just on the right of my sun coral in the middle of feeding. Thank you.

Looks like a bristleworm to me also. I’ve never had a problem with them.
