He looks pretty fluffy. One way to know for sure, touch it...
Have you been losing stuff? When I have predatory bristle worms I have known it pretty quickly because they go for coral and also find shells from the little snails piling up. Have you been losing snails?

No i havent lost anything as far as im aware, besides my pompom crab seems more predatory than the worm cause i saw the crab holding a mid sized black stomatella and eating it. I guess my crabbo is a rebel.

I would bet it's not a predatory one if it's sharing a space with a snail. If it's got a hidey hole it would be way more trouble to get it out. Keep it fed and it might not kill stuff even if it is predatory.
