Hi Scott,
Almost all of the bristle worm species are quite harmless and are actually beneficial. They are scavengers that help clean up uneaten food and fish waste. Here is a link to a great article about them.

Part 2 of the article is out also but I can't find a link to it When I do I will post the link.

Kevin
