just removed 3 of these, possibly more in the tube. Ate gorgonians and discosomas. About 4" long. Thanks

It's not a fireworm at all. It's a species of Eunice which is broken into pieces. The part on the bottom is the hind end while the other one is the median portion of the worm. I don't see a head. The big eunicids are well known as predators on soft corals.

Its definitely a type of bristleworm, and one species you don't want in a reef tank
