Bristle worms. I consider them good, or at least harmless.

Just be sure you dont touch it with your bare hands. They pack a bit of a sting

Harmless till u touch them =P. I was moving my gsp that's on sand bed n got painfully poked by the bristles on those things hiding underneath. I think the best investment I ever made in this hobby so far was a $20 pair of aquarium arm length gloves. Each time I put my arm in the tank it would get all numb and very painful to the bone for at least 1-2 hrs after.
