Generally they are harmless and make a good part of your CUC crew however there are a couple of caveats to this and are an extremely common hitch hiker on coral and rock

1) Bristle worms are loaded with tiny needle sharp quills that will cause anything from minor irritation to sever pain never ever handle these bare handed

2) They can fit into almost any hole, nook, cranny or hollow so be careful picking up rocks, cover and other things in the tank

3) Fire worms and Enucid worms are considered harmful to your tank however they are easily recognizable so if you do see them remove from your tank

I personally I have a hatred for bristle worms however I have learned to live with these guys in an uneasy truce
