Maybe you let it bite you describe what the bite felt like that could be helpful as well

I keep coming back to some type of Eunice i wouldn’t keep
Them in your tank but i would get them in their own tank and see how large they can get.

i'm leaning that way too, apparently there are 10,000 types. AI kept telling me it was a green bristleworm. i no longer think that.
