help ID worm found in new setup

[rtram]

imo, any measure taken to get rid of bristle worms this early on in your tank is quite unnecessary as they are beneficial detritivores for any aquarium. unless you find them tremendously aesthetically unappealing, i'd just leave them and let them do their job.

Liave them, they are cleaners.
In reef tanks criters that we like most (Fish) produce most waste, and criters that we like least (worms) help us clean the tank.
