HELP ME SCARY WORM

[ryanblank06]

Hey guys I’m new to saltwater. Been doing fresh for years but only 6 months in salt. I found this work at night and I finally got a good look on it. Can someone tell me what it is and will it hurt my corals/anemones? Should I find a way to remove it, traps or something? I’ve found things on bristle worms but it seems huge to be one but I could be wrong. Also seen fire worms but it doesn’t look like one. PLEASE HELP THIS THING IS CREPPY

Looks like a bristle worm. I have tons in my tank. They don’t bother anything. They just come out to eat left over food at night.

Ok thanks. Just making sure it wasn’t a Oenone fulgida Worm. Freshwater has no pests like this so I’m still adjusting but corals and the colors on the saltwater fish it’s just beautiful.

Yeah they’re good for cleaning up leftover food but they are ugly and I got stung by one.

Lol I did the same when I first started and just about pooped myself when I saw one for the first time. I see them now I pull them. Nasty creepy things
