Get use to it 'cause they're everywhere. Had my fair share of bristles and trying to pluck them out with tweezers... Damn near impossible to find and really irritating.
Now whenever I have to move my LR or corals I always wear vinyl disposable gloves.

I haven't experienced bristleworm myself, but from what I understand, their bristles will start to wear out your rock. Carve it out as it (and it's bristles) moves around for an extended period of time. I think that some people don't mind them and they can live in your sump as well. But, they could end up back in the tank. They definitely aren't a friendly creature and I would suggest removing it from your tank as they will harm your livestock. The Coral Banded Shrimp is also a natural predator of the bristleworm and could be a good aid in it's removal. Good luck with the bristleworm!
