I've been cycling my tank for nine days now and I just found some bristleworms. Are they good?? I thought they looked pretty cool...

The small ones are great. Very effective detritivores. The really large ones can cause problems (a few years ago someone found a 6+ foot long bristleworm when they tore down a tank).

Ok, thanks! I just didn't know if they would eat future corals or anything. And can they hurt fish?

generally good as long as there is cleanup to be had. I've cought mine eating zoanthids in the absence of waste items.
