I got many with my original shipment of LR many years ago. I observed that SOME of them ate SPS corals. It was easy to see them doing it because they need to latch onto the coral and rasp away at it for days at a time. Whenever I saw one doing that, I just removed it with tweezers.

The remaining bristle worms were harmless detrivores. Most everyone has more of these than they probably think.

The only bad thing I know about them is if you accidentally touch them it will feel like hundreds of needles going into your hand, the pain lasts for days, and it's near impossible to get all the prickles they leave it your hand out.
