Bristle Worm?
I noticed this cheeky little fella hanging around in area where I'm trying to get algae under control.
Looks to be a bristle worm. Can any confirm if this correct and any recommendations? Sorry for the bad pic I had just feed the fish and the phone camera is not too good.

Pic isnt showing up for me but if it is kind of furry looking and a reddish color it is a bristle worm.

Yes, it's a bristleworm. A beneficial part of our CUC, but definitely wear gloves when your hands are in the tank.

Bristle worn are good for your tank as long they do not get too big. When I find a really big worn I suck it out of the sand with a turkey baster
