Bristleworm. Good scavenger. Just don't touch them with your bare hands!

They're getting into places other similarly sized scavengers can't reach, and removing organic material - but those setae (spines along the sides) are like fiberglass insulation to the touch.

So if I was to touch what’s the out come and what do I need to do?

It's kinda sore / irritating / itchy for a few days. Not serious, but seriously annoying.
