I think they are about as nice looking as a bristleworm (gross!). Having said that, I know some people think bristleworms are cool.

Get a nice, pretty Linckia instead! haha

Linckia are a pretty poor choice as their true diet is unknown and they generally starve to death in home aquarium. A smaller variety of brittle star might be a better idea.
