Hi noticed this in my gsp, not sure what it is or how long it is. Is it bad good? Almost looked like a brittle starfish leg lol.

Looks like a bristle worm. They are scavengers. Nothing horrible. Some people suggest removal but they are a part of cleanup crew

Looks like bristle worm. I don’t mind them. The do a good job cleaning the leftovers when feeding

I've seen them in both my tanks. At one point I had one sharing a burrow with my pistol shrimp and hi fin goby. I've no beef with em

Eurythoe complanata or similar species - no clue if you should keep em or not #reefsquad

Common bristle worm. Probably fine.

I have the finger rule. Longer than my index finger they have to go.

I use the antennae rule. If they have antennae with a face that looks more like a centipede than a fuzzy earthworm, it's likely an eunicid worm and needs to get the heck out...
