I saw the biggest bristleworm I have ever seen in my tank. its at least 7 inches long, but it could be longer. is it that bad for the tank if i dont have coral? it scared the living day lights out of me.

it appears that some large bristleworms can be aggressive predators, these seem to be in the minority they can attack and eat clams, anemones, corals and even fish.
But aslong as he is not doing the above they are ok and keep your live rock clean and are in fact good scavengers and add to the biodiversity of the tank
