If its just your normal bristle worm keep it. They are great at keeping the little nooks and cranys clean in your rock. Yeah you might get stuck in the finger once or twice and it hurts but I think they are worth it.

yes, you definetky can keep a brittlestar. You can also keep the bristleworm, as long as it is not the predator type. Most likely you have a common one. They are orange, with white bristles at their sides, and sometimes half of them is orange, and the other half is grayish black

I love bristleworms, they help clean up the tank, and I didn't have to pay money for them!
