I pulled this guy out of my tank yesterday. Is he a Bearded Fireworm or another type of Fireworm?

He is about 12"+ long and about one inch thick. For reference, the skimmer pipe in the photo is 1-1/2". He is carnivorous since I dropped a piece of scallop in his holding box....and he devoured it. I did start my tank almost 5 years ago with Florida live rock.
