I have a bunch of these worms living in one of my prop tanks. They are always under a frag disc or rock. Largest ones are a little over an inch long. Am I right that they are beneficial Bristle Worms? I looked up some info but have not seen an exact picture of this species.

Yeah, they look like regular worms. If you have 2 you have more. Beneficial for sure, people actually buy them. :D

Bristleworms. Friendlies. The best detritus-reducers you could ever buy. They'll scare your guests, but they're your friends. Just don't put bare hands on one or you'll be picking bristles for days. They will NOT hurt your corals and the only meat they can eat is in an advanced state of rot.
