Is this a Bristleworm or something else? Hopefully not a fireworm! This must have transferred from my frag tank to my display inadvertently, but I have not seen any fireworms in my frag tank.

I’m assuming you sped up your video but it looks like a normal bristle worm to me. They’re a very important clean up crew member. They can get in places most others cannot.

The antennae on worm suggests a euicid worm and one you want to remove and discard

I went back to look and I think it does have 5 antennae. Are there reef safe Eunice worms? Is this really gonna be an issue? I see like a cluster of them in a virtually impossible hard to reach spot.

Corals and livestock all fine, although I had some STN on a green stylo likely due to shading.

Yes. Most Eunice worms are fine.
