Bristle worm ID
This guy, 7" long, just popped up on my tank this morning. He was under/eating my green rhodactis corals. Not sure which he was doing. Never seen him before, although he's likely been in the tank for over a year. I've pulled some much smaller bristle/fireworms out of my tank a half year ago. Is this a fireworm or just regular run of the mill bristle worm?
Also, I'm guessing that at his size I should probably take him out of the reef tank? It's 120-gal, but he's the biggest moving thing in there by far. |

This link might help.
