Not sure what kind of worm this is, I just found a few on a frag disc with a mushroom on it thats been pretty unhappy lately. I wonder if this could be the culprit. It doesn’t look like the pictures of bristle or spaghetti worms that I see on the web and here. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

It looks like a bristleworm. Probably not a fireworm, but it sure doesn't look like the "standard" pink bristleworm.

Look like Syllidae worm. Predatory on corals!
