If it is the coral eating type, you'll know because in order to eat coral they have to latch on and rasp the coral away. They remain there for hours, if not days. Once you see this behaviour, you can simply remove it with tweezers.
If you don't see this, it is probably safe to assume that you have the harmless detrivore type. In this case, I would leave it in the tank.

Thank you for all of this useful information. I checked out the thread and my bristle worm is the exact same colour of the small pink one in the middle picture next to the picture of the huge bristle worm. I have many corals that seem to be fine so I do not think it is a coral eater.
I think I will just leave him alone - unless I see him harming something. It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck just looking at it! BTW I am a girl (Karen) and use my boyfriend's name, Roderick, on this forum. So if "Roderick's" posts seem kind of feminine - you know why! Thanks again!

My bristle worm is nowhere NEAR as big as that one and I have 28 gallons of saltwater for him to play in. I am going to leave him in the aquarium. As long as he will not hurt anyone I shall leave well enough alone!
