Firework or bristleworm?

[SWtanks_again]

Much like other posts, I am having trouble with ID on this one and other threads seemed to conflict. The body is red with white bristles so I lean towards firework and will try to get with tweezers or a trap this week. Any advice is welcome to help as this is a first time pest for me to encounter.

Common bristleworm.

The only one that's bad for the tank is the bearded fireworm and it's very distinctive... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermodice_carunculata

thank you for the response. It has been an interesting journey this time around for my tanks. I'm seeing a lot more activity than I did a decade ago!

You shouldn’t be lighting fireworks off in your tank
