Need a worm ID please. Reef safe?

Got some stuff from a friend of mine who took her tank down. She told me she had a worm in with it and I need to know what it is. It kinda looks like a millipede with red stripes down the side. These are the best pics I could get with my camera. Thanks.

lookas like the infamous fireworm.... The one bristlw work most people Ive talked to descride as a problem worm. I have them in some live rock I got and have yet to have any problems, but I have heard of them bothering anemones and some corals. There are bristleworm traps available, I havent had any luck with them though. I leave the little ones alone and grab the big ones with tweezers at nite when they come out to play. So far they seem to just forage around in the sand and not bother anyone. Some books say arrow crabs and 6 line wrasses will eat them, also heard coral abnded shrimp will as well, but all these have other downsides depending on what else is in your tank.
FYI dont grab em with your finger or you will see why they call em fireworms..... supposedly hot water and scrapeing with a butter knife will get the bristles out but it never seemed to help me much:)

They're all over my fuge but never see one in my display. For giggles I dropped one in the tank and my clown instantly pounced on it and fed it my anemone. very cool

It's very difficult to ID it from those pictures, but it doesn't look like your typical detrivore bristlworm. And that;s not because of its size, either. It does look similar to a Hermodice or a Eunice, species though. Both of which are bad little buggers. You might want to wait until LeslieH has a chance to respond.

Looks like a bristle worm to me. If it is no problems unless it finds a coral or two that are tasty.
