i read that, i also read that arrow crabs will too. However, the arrow crabs are menaces. Is it the same with the coral banded shrimps?

I have a coral banded shrimp in my tank.......and I have a bristle worm that comes out right next to where the shrimps (home) is. Never touches him. Which I dont care....the worm isnt hurting anything in my tank......why bother him. :)

Yea, I think once the worms reach a certain size they don't touch them. I probably have like 1000 worms though. They come out all times of day. Every day I see more and more of them. It doesn't look like they are bad though. The only thing that worries me is that they are on every rock and I don't know if they will harm any corals, zoos, or whatever else I want to put in there.
