I recently started feeding phyto to encourage pod growth, which it has, but also notice an uptick in little critters like this guy. Short bristle worm?
 
Yeah. To me it looks like a cute little bristleworm! Yep. Until you touch it. Then it's not good. That being said, it's an agreement I make that has an uncertain aspect. Definitely, not my strong suit.
 
Looks like a fireworm actually… @ISpeakForTheSeas ?
Sorry, crazy day yesterday for me - It's hard to say from the pic, but I'm leaning toward regular bristleworm.

Regardless, even with most fireworms, as long as their population doesn't get too out of hand, they should typically be an issue in our tanks.
