       Historically, Bristleworms have had a bad reputation among saltwater aquarium aficionados. These marine worms usually enter the hobbyist’s aquarium by__(31)__ a ride on a piece of coral. Once established, they become part of the tank’s ecosystem. Bristleworms range greatly in size. The smallest ones are about an inch long, and the large ones can grow to over 20 inches, although, being segmented, their bodies are often __(32)__ and so not usually seen at their greatest extent. Literature has frequently __(33)__ that bristleworms are harmful, asserting that they eat clams, anemones and even oral fish. However, most enthusiasts now conclude that small bristleworms __(34)__ no threat, and are merely scavengers, clearing the tank from detritus and carcasses of animals that are already dead. However, larger worms, particularly those of the species known as fireworms, are __(35)__ eaters and can do irreparable damage. These worms are better removed, although this is a challenge in itself, as the worms are nocturnal and sensitive to light, and will go into hiding at the slightest disturbance.

However, larger worms, particularly those of the species known as fireworms, are voracious eaters and can do irreparable damage.
然而,較大的蠕蟲,尤其是那些被稱為火蟲的蠕蟲,是貪婪的食客,可能會造成無法挽回的損害。
These worms are better removed, although this is a challenge in itself, as the worms are nocturnal and sensitive to light, and will go into hiding at the slightest disturbance.
這些蠕蟲最好被清除,儘管這本身就是一個挑戰,因為蠕蟲是夜間活動且對光敏感,並且會在最輕微的干擾下隱藏起來。
