The only common problem with them is they tend to get blamed for a lot of things they didn't (and can't) do - which in the end will cost the aquarist time (trying to catch them), money (buying bristleworm "traps"), or worse (aquarists knocking over rocks trying to catch a worm, crushing other valuable livestock in the process... etc... ).
