Does anyone know about bristle worms? I found one on the same coral frag that had the aptasia yesterday. I've read they will only eat the dead zoas and crud that falls on the coral. Can someone confirm this? I may have to toss this frag if I continue to have problems.

Vast majority of bristle worms are harmless to the system and are effective CuC and generally nothing to worry about unless you inadvertently grab or brush one.
My tank is loaded with them I am not a fan of them just because I find them ugly repulsive creatures. If they are greyish and flat looking or grey with a red tip they are harmless to your system

Most wrasses will munch on them but only a few actively seek them out as a food source
Arrow crabs will eat them as a primary food source but most likely will attack and eat critters and feather dusters that you want to keep too once the worm population is decimated Coral banded shrimp will eat bristle worms too but not always and may attack and eat other smaller critters in your tank as well
