ID please reddish bristle worm??

Bniceb · Sep 6, 2024

Can somebody ID this worm? It is under 50 magnification. The two pictures are two different but the same. They look like bristle worms but very small.
It came out of one of my large goni that has been receding over the last 3 weeks.

Yeah, I would guess that's a fire worm - it seems to have a caruncle, so that would be a fireworm; but I can't tell for sure from the pic. To verify if it has one, see the link below:
