Right. These guys are by and large absolutely harmless and beneficial. The vast majority of those encountered in aquariums are beneficial. Very rarely will you find one that causes problems--these include fireworms (distinct from what most people call 'fireworms'); some eunicids (stuff of legends--big); and Oenone fulgida, which dines on large, swimming fish.
