As a veteran of 1000 bites..
 some say vinegar on the bite. I tried bleach once it worked well.Worst case scenario(provided you are not allergic) is fingers swollen, itchy and throbbing. Reactine will reduce these symptons.

my reef invertebrates book says you will experience symptoms ranging from a mild itch to severe burning sensation. Try removing embedded bristles with duct tape (the author must be canadian! LONG LIVE RED GREEN!) or to use a liquid bandage, allow it to dry and peel it off, along with the bristles.
Doesnt say "seek immediate medical attention" like it does when referencing the diadema urchin, so I guess bristleworm attacks are only annoying and not too too serious

Does hot water help at all? And what about crazy glue? Pour some on, let it dry, scrub it off?

It is a funny thing, but I have picked them up with my bare hands to remove some from my tank. I did not experience any stings at all. Maybe not everyone is sensitized
 If I try to move my Closed Brains, or Caulastria bare handed, I get funny feelings in my fingertips.
