Bristleworm ID & Advice

[illusionist]

Hey guys, please kindly help with ID if possible, and if you've got tips on how to eradicate them from the tank. I believe there are more where they came from!

I have a few of these. They are harmful to fish and corals when bigger as they do bite.

I would remove them if I were you.

I have seen bristle worms almost 2 ft in length. They have the uncanny ability to compress themselves into tiny spaces and also shrink themselves when threatened. Really wonder what is their maximum size. People use them as bait for fishing. But be careful when handling them, because they bite people too
