Bristle or fire?

Fire worms are a variety of bristle worm but that's mostly besides the point.
You appear to have a pretty large "common" bristle worm. Remember to keep their populations in check when they become too numerous but otherwise, keep them around as helpful detritivores.

I think the camera really doesn’t pick up the red and orange like regular white light does. I also have the blues on so that washes it out too.

The picture gets too blurry when I zoom in to positively tell if it's a bearded fireworm, but I don't think it is. Although that is a big bristleworm.

Agree, big bristle.

Does the worm have a distinct red feathery looking thing (caruncle) on its head. If so it's a bearded fireworm, if not then just a big bristleworm

Bristle worm. Best way to control their populations is with an arrow crab or coral banded shrimp. I have a CSB, and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one in my tank, though both of these come with their own issues.

Bristle worm and leave it be. They simply are the best consumers of detritus. They are a part of any healthy reef tank. Just don’t try to kiss them or pet them and you’ll be alright.
