Worm ID?

[Jay York]

my wife just sent me this picture of a yellow worm. She didn’t think it was a bristleworm. Any ideas?

If it is out in the light it isn't a oenone fulgida. They only come out in complete darkness. And then be thankful you don't have one.

It's a Phyllodocidae worm. They come in all different colors including yellow. They pray on other small worms.
