Good or bad?

[Pred24]

Just bought a zoa colony gave it a good dip and loads of life came out sadly I don’t wanna risk any of it but as it’s settling this I presume a bristleworm came out so I quickly got it out! Is it a good guy or not?

that's a matter of opinion here.
I'm on the "good" side.

It’s a bristleworm as you suspect. Harmless detrivores but can overpopulate with high nutrients I have a number of them and they leave coral alone if that’s a concern.

If you're asking if it's a bristle worm or fireworm, it looks like a bristle worm. Typically good guys.

Keeper. They just eat dead things

Some people say good, some people say bad. In my opinion, they're good. Sometimes they can get out of hand which is typically why people say bad, I believe. Either way, great detritivore, it'll help keep the tank clean!
