Hi All, obviously I'm a little bit new to all of this which is why i'm posting in here. So I recently had to treat my tank with cupramine to get rid of ich and I didn't see any bristle worms during that time. Now that I started removing the copper I noticed that the bristle worms and or fire worms are back and im a bit paranoid because I read that some types of worms can be dangerous? Any opinions on what type of worm I got here, the picture isn't the best but the worm is also super tiny at the moment.
Thank you!

Not sure about fire worms, but bristle worms are actually a good part of your cuc, just don't touch them without gloves on.
 
Yeah I wouldn't care if they are bristle worms I just Wana make sure they aren't the bad ones lol
 
Bristle worms are good as long as you don't get to levels of infestation. You often find them under live rock in an established tank. As sand dwellers, they are helpful in churning sand and releasing trapped gases which can now rise to the surface and be expelled from the tank.
