I have quite a few of these worms in my tank. No idea what they're called or if they're good/bad.

as for good/bad thats a little debated....but they never did anything in my tank, so they good in my book for eating ditirus

Bristle worm, no problem, just don't touch it.

Yup, bristle worms, I have a bunch in my tank. At night, they go to town and eat all the detritus in the water. So, I let them be. Just DO NOT touch them, those lil bristles are their defense mechanism, it will burn you, and if you are allergic you might need a shot. My suggestion is, wear gloves, Nitrile are best because they are puncture proof. Or get the aquagloves.

they are good.

If I ever move them I use chop sticks to pick them up.
