Brittle stars or bristle worms?

I personally prefer worms.

Both. They serve different purposes.

The worms reproduce faster though.

+1. Both are scavengers/detritivores but my micro brittle stars gravitate towards rubble and substrate while my bristleworms hang out in rocks. The stars seem to reproduce faster but make up less biomass than the worms.
Bristleworm stings are annoying, though.

Why’d you put a wow on my honeycomb star post?
