Bristle worm? Fire worm?

[Deanna77]

This (not so) little guy crawled out of my rock today, just after a fed my coral. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a photo of his face before he retreated back into the rock. The picture quality isn’t great, but I was hoping if someone could tell me if it’s a bristle worm or a fire worm??? I’m not sure how long it is, since it didn’t completely come out, but he is at least 4”.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks everyone! I’m very happy to hear it’s a Bristle so I can just leave it be! I really wasn’t looking forward to trying to catch it!

Yeah they’re beneficial but not very pleasing to the eyes, just don’t overfeed and they should be kept under control.
