I've not found bristleworms to hurt very much. I've had my fingers covered in the "hairs". They are irritating, but not more than any other little sliver. A Radiant Urchin though? That's a whole different ball game. That hurts like a mofo! Worse than Volitans Lionfish.

Like anything in nature stings and toxins affect everyone differently so while most will have little effect on us per se it is highly recommended to wear latex or rubber gloves while digging around in your tank to prevent those stings and bites

People seem to have different reactions to things. I know I got hit by my urchin and thought I was gonna lose a finger lol, swelled up and hurt bad. I could see a bristle worm doing that if your sensitive.
