Welcome to the club of owning bristle worms!!!

Although I do not allow these in my tank, they are good scavengers for detritus and uneaten food. Can grow to an easy 12" in length. Never handle these with your bare fingers

Bristle worms, as other have said there mostly good, and can get pretty big. They can irritate your skin if handled with bare hands.
I keep them out of my tank just because I find them a little frighting, interesting thought!

Ya I wouldn’t handle them, they can be really annoying sometimes but still won’t hurt anything. You can buy a six line wrasse they eat those things like cany!!

I think they're pretty creepy to see.

This one is about 2.5-3" already. I've noticed a few smaller ones also.

I have a small army of those guys, they don't bother anything
