| generally they come in on live rock (as i think mine did as they congregate around one piece in particular), though there is nothing bad about them (as long as you dont touch em with your fingers) unless they are clearly causing problems with your corals...mine do not seem to snack on anything other than detritus, but this one was just too big and was knocking things over

| getting rid of it... they stab their bristles into you which are poisonous...the little things are supposed to be damned near impossible to get out, like little tiny cactus spines that break off when you touch em...lots of problems with infections and what not K
