During the semi-annual bubble tip anemone purge I found about 5-6 of these red bristleworms crawling around some of the leftover rubble. They are extremely bright red, smaller than an inch and have 4 antennae around their heads.

They're from a 5+ year old reef tank with extremely healthy fish and no mysterious disappearances. Mostly curious if anyone has an accurate ID on them.

Oooohhh yeah, thank you! I've been wracking my brain and the google search bar trying to figure these little guys out.
Lol, I knew what it was but can never remember the spelling... Took me a minute for Google to decipher my attempts :face-with-tears-of-joy:
