Wow that is a large one. U should feed less if it is a bristleworm. It should not attack healthy fishes but I'll say take it out and control feeding and there should be less detritus on your sand(if there is any)

Looks like a normal bristleworm - just a really big one.
They don’t kill fish, but can certainly scavenge off a dead one. Most likely the fish died of a different cause and you caught the worm cleaning up.

They consume leftover food and detritus. Look what it is eating as u can get a population blast.

While they can, it is rare. Assure its truly a bristle and not the known attack monster known as Bobbit worm:
