Lifting up a rock to see a writhing mass of bristle worms bothers me more.

Think of it this way.... The nastier it is, the better your skimmer is working .... And that's a good thing

Nope, I don't mind since I look at it as that's nastiness that is no longer in my tank

I agree with the bristleworms comment. Don't have many left, which is fine with me.
