is it good in my tank

and if not how do i get them out

Theyre so/so, i take them out of my tanks cause theyll iritate ur skin if u touch their bristles also they are found eating coral at times and if they get big enough will eat/harrass ur livestock. there are traps u can buy for them to get trapped in or when u feed ur tank, take a pair of tweezers n pull those suckers out. you gotta be fast tho

Fire bristle worm. From my understanding you want that out of your tank. Make sure not to touch.

Bristle Worms do NOT eat corals! They are scavengers only. Eating the dead or dying or left over foods. They are IMO & IME the better part of any clean up crew and very beneficial to any tank. Their numbers can be kept in check by limited tank feedings.
They freak people out which is sad. They clean your substrate and your rock inside & out!

Fire Worms are another story....
