Help Identify worms in sand.

These little guys have been in my tank for awhile now, never really thought about them until i noticed more (they're about 2 cm in size and black, i notice they do not come out until my moonlights are on), do they pose a threat toward anything? If so, any critters that i should buy to eat them. Thanks

I have some too. They are just bristle worms. They are great scavengers. Just leave them they are great to have.

I usually pick out the LARGE ones, but they are fine, I just don't like looking in my tank and seeing a 6 inch bristleworm.

I'd do the same. When I have guests I don't want them to be freaked out about the huge pencil thick worm in my tank.
