Can bristle worms smell?

Can bristle worms smell food without actually seeing it? I trapped one by putting pellets in an enclosed trap.

It seems like they can smell. Do they have noses?

No noses, but olfactory receptors

They can smell if you take them out of the water and let them decay for a day or two.
