I’ve heard crazy stories about fire worms and they honestly disgust me. I recently found something that looks like it could either be a bristle worm or fire worm. Could someone please tell me whether this is a fire worm or not?

Look at the size of the bristles on that fella. Theyre HUGE. I think there is a good possibility this is indeed a fireworm.

Edit: After some googling this doesn't look like a fireworm. Just an extra fuzzy guy.

likely standard bristle worm...and not the fire worm variety that you would want to avoid contact with.

good detritus eater.
good banded coral shrimp food if it is spied by one....
