I am having a hard time determining if this is a fire or bristle.

Background, I had a mishap with dosing alk (dose pump failed on) a few weeks ago. I noticed a few days later a little necrosis on 2 chalices which the last 3 days had been progressing rapidly. I went to pull them out to cut to try and save them. Under each there were 5-6 of these worms. I pulled the worms and cut the chalices to try to save them.

I am pretty sure it’s bristle but with what is going on and where they were I started questioning myself.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you this post helped me. I’m new and can’t tell the difference but had one just like it and was freaking out.
