HELP!

Wow this one looks extra fuzzy! Mine never look that thick with bristles. I got hit a few weeks ago, I used tape to get them out and it was fine. No toxins or anything to worry about;)

Could have been another species. I have at least three distinct species in my tank. Had four but 1 had to go.

And I think I didn't get all the little spine out cause i just use twizzer and can't see it no more.
Am I gonna be ok?

As long as you don't feel an intense burning immediately you will be fine. If you do then you have been hit by a fireworm which is a cousin of this guys. In that case you will need to just make sure you don't have an allergic reaction as fireworms have venom.

Well I don't feel any burning.

Just your standard bristle then. There is no question if it is a fireworm they hurt
