I am fairly new to the hobby and found about 3 of these roaming my floor bed this morning. Can anyone help me identify? Is it a Bristleworm? Is it safe to have in my tank?

I don't believe it to be a bristle. The iridescent makes me think bobbit possibly. Can you get a picture of the head of it? Does it have 5 antenna?

I will have to try tomorrow morning right as I turn my light on! this morning was the first time I’ve seen them and there were 3!
 
Looks like the Caribbean Fireworm, Eurythoe complanata (While technically a fireworm, in practice it's basically the same as Linopherus, the common bristleworm but gets much larger.):
