Just don't want a monster one that gets too big like the one on youtube...over 12" and stuff -_-

When the get to big, just cut them into smaller sections, they will heal and grow

If they get that big just stir fry em with veggies and pour over rice......

oh man i couldn't tell you how many times i brush up against one of the worms it sucks but you just grab some duct tape and rip the needles out. and put some white vinegar on it and your good.

yeah it happens often. i got just got used to it.

I like them. True bristle worms really aren't a problem. There population will wax/wane based on available food. I agree it is no fun to brush up against one. I actually got some to seed our tank.
