I think they can sting corals like hydroids, but theres really no way to get rid of them i guess 

[HUNGER]

o ok

[SnOwY]

thanks i had no clue what they are. stupid looking things lol

[Reefinmike]

I dont like em because if you move a tank with well established liverock, and just grab a piece of rock, it'll pop a bunch of holes in your hand

[HUNGER]

true but almost everything can do that 

[SnOwY]

yeah, i also have a bristle worm somewhere in my tank so i always have to watch if i'm moving something.

[HUNGER]
