Worms....can you help me identify

[MidnightWolf]

I was aquascaping my new 80 gl tank this evening and found two worms that I think maybe bristle worms - about 3 to 5 inches long. Should I remove them or leave them in the tank? Heard good and bad comments.

A few bristleworms won't hurt a thing. They eat detritus. Don't overfeed the tank, and they won't multiply to 'problem' proportions.
