opinions on rainiford gobies, and bristle worms

i would like opinions on this fish because im thinking about getting one. i also am hearing they stay small and tend to be less agressive then 6 line wrases which was what i originally wanted. now to the bristle worms my 10 gallon is loaded with pinkish red bristle worms are these harmful or harmless?

I love my rainford goby, he looks great and keeps the rock clean. I have had him for 7 months. I had 3 of them but 2 died. I read somewhere or someone told me that they are territorial and you should not have more than 1 per tank, unless it is fairly big.

Bristleworms = good detritus munchers and are harmless (unless you touch them, then ouch)

Don't know about rainiford gobies.

Bristles are the single best weapon in your cleanup crew. I skip most Gobies so I won't be much help there but I do believe it is true that they tend to not like each other so should be kept singly.

I had a rainford, really cool fish. Ours was perfectly colored so that you could not tell which end was the head. I think I lost him in a move.
