Sounds good, I've seen bristle worms in my tank before but they were skinnier so I wasn't expecting to see one that looks like this.
 
Common bristle worms look exactly like the one you posted, but some can be more towards a solid color or more reddish overall. Fireworms are extremely rare these days and despite popular belief, they weren't that common in the days of live rock. Most of them were dead on the bottom of the boxes they were shipped in and only a few made the journey alive.
 
Based on these nice images provided by @damsels are not mean , I'm still not sure, lol. Thinking bristle though.

Definitely a bristle. The size of the bristles give it away in cases where the colors are similar but any worm that is multicolored like that is always bristle.
