Help ID a worm

[Paul C.]

Just found this worm in the sand while doing a water change. Can someone help me with a name and other info?

Common Bristleworm. Very beneficial for your tank, VERY BAD for you if you touch it. Those tiny bristles will break off in your skin and you'll then realize why they're nicknamed Fireworms.

Thanks again returnofsid. Also thank you Downbeach,

Funny thing is my plan is to move 90% of the sand and this is when i am finding these (the mini brittle starfish and firework) hidden gems.
