I support that this happens and it has happened to me. I don't think that the bristleworm makes deliberate contact with the fish...just that certain fish have habits that put them in the same place at the same time.
In my case, I had a red-head blenny that spent much of it's time inside holes in my LR. Over the many years I had him, he would frequently have bristle worm spines sticking out of his head and sometimes out of his eyes. I never attempted to remove them and they didn't seem to cause any long term damage.

Happened to me as well, my Regal tang in my old tank use to get them all the time because it would always sleep in the tightest cave it could find. I don't think the fish liked it but the spikes would eventually fall out and things would be back to normal until it happened again.

Lately my Bi-color blenny has a habit of slapping himself against the sand. I could see how he might pick up some bristles if a worm was buried just beneath the surface. Does anybody know what this slapping behaviour is about?
