It looks like it’s probably a bearded fireworm.
Definitely not bobbits.
Really hard to tell from the photo. There's some pronounced shadowing, which might be giving off the darker "tufts" between the white bristles.Maybe Im not correct on what I believe I see in the picture. Where I drew lines is there not little red tufts between the bristles? Also is there a noticeable red frilly thing on the head where I drew the arrow?
The dead giveaway on a bearded fireworm is the red frilly thing (caruncle) on its head. It is such a noticeable trait that it’s even in the bearded fireworms scientific name (Hermodice carunculata)
Though somewhat difficult to see, the gill tufts do overlap with the setae.Really hard to tell from the photo. There's some pronounced shadowing, which might be giving off the darker "tufts" between the white bristles.
