I’ve seen a similar worm once in the tank that was about 5 to 6 inches long. This guy was on my filter floss when I changed it out today and about an inch and a half long. Is it one of the bad species of bobbit? Thanks

Tons of types of bristle worms. Chances of it being one of the worst prob slim and a good cuc in the end

It's not a bristleworm. Looks like a small Dorvilleidae worm. Algae eater, reef safe (cleanup crew). I don't think it's a bobbit worm (they have more than 4 'feelers' on the head).
