Bristle worms are useful scavengers that move through rockwork and substrate feeding on leftover food, detritus, and other decaying organic material. In established reef aquariums, this common beneficial species helps recycle nutrients and cleans hidden areas that are difficult for other cleanup crew animals to reach.

Care must be exercised when handling bristle worms as they can sting. Do not touch them directly with bare hands.
