Not calling you crazy, but the picture you posted is not the same as the one the OP showed. The setae do not match. Not a fireworm.

It looks identical to me, but I’m not an expert.

This is the pic he has on the post with blue light then pics from source.

Says page not found

Apologies, for some reason the page won't link properly. It was an article explaining that the "orange fireworm" is not a coral-eating type of FW but is as harmless to tank inhabitants (at least ones that don't try to eat it) as common bristleworms.

Eurythoe complanata is not the same as the bearded fireworm (Hermodice carunculata)

I said it was a fireworm. That’s all I said. I didn’t say it was a bearded fireworm. However, that same kind did eat a chunk out of an anthia twice when my 150g started to separate and I had to put all my 13 fish and corals in a 40g breeder for a month.

Now, it may not normally predate on fish, but may be more opportunistic as there was really nothing for it to eat as I fed lightly. It was hiding in zoas.

Thanks. I tried ordering again today. Still no response. Weird.

did you ever end up hearing from them (lpsf)? I was going to place an order for some stuff.
