Another terrifying looking creature in my new tank!! Ack! Looking at the pics in this thread I think it's just a bristle worm, can anyone please confirm? There seem to be a lot of them in my live rock.

Bristle worms. Good guys. Just don't touch with your bare hands.

can any one help me? I found a white/opaque worm about 2" long wrapped around my Xenia. it kinda resembles a bristle worm. it has some hair on it and a group of hairs at its head/end. the coral does not appear to be harmed at all. noticed it about a week ago, then again today. when I touch it with tweezers to try to remove it, it darts into the Xenia polyps or the rock. it is lightning fast. please help me if you can, im worried it might be a bad worm
