i was doing a water change today, and i sucked up a couple of these guys i knew i had some in there and i know i have more, but my question is are these worms ones i need to remove ASAP or is it okay to leave em in there

you cant really tell by the pics but their body is a orange and blue

bristle worms are a good thing....I would pay money for them as I don't seem to have any, at least not that I have ever seen. Their numbers are directly correlated to the amount of waste for them to eat.......if they are a problem, reduce the amount of feeding etc.....they eat what is available...some fish will eat them.....

There's a great worm ID site here: Worm Hitch Hikers

(don't look if worms creep you out, there's lots of them on this page)

purple pseudochromis will eat em.
