I can't really tell if this guy is a regular bristleworm but just a big one or an actual fireworm

He looks pretty fluffy. One way to know for sure, touch it...
Have you been losing stuff? When I have predatory bristle worms I have known it pretty quickly because they go for coral and also find shells from the little snails piling up. Have you been losing snails?
 
No i havent lost anything as far as im aware, besides my pompom crab seems more predatory than the worm cause i saw the crab holding a mid sized black stomatella and eating it. I guess my crabbo is a rebel.

And also the cave hes coming out from is where my nassarius snail usually lives and hes alive and well, i also have collonista snails and i see no snail shells near there, it obly comes out when i feed mostly
 
I would bet it's not a predatory one if it's sharing a space with a snail. If it's got a hidey hole it would be way more trouble to get it out. Keep it fed and it might not kill stuff even if it is predatory.
