I've spotted a couple of larger worms in my tank at night, but I've never been able to get good pictures of them under white lights until tonight. There is at least one, possibly two, 8+ inch worms. Any opinions? Bristle worm or fireworm?

Looks more like a common Bristle worm to me (the red tufts on the flanks aren’t very prominent on this worm compared to Fireworms). I would still remove it, though, considering its size.

Yeah, I was thinking it needs to go based on size alone. It should be interesting to remove it since it never completely leaves the rock. I guess I'll try to make a long trap out of a couple water bottles and see what happens.
