Hello. I keep finding these 4-7 inch fat worms that I think are fireworms. Have seen a couple of fish covered in barbs. No corals seem to be getting harmed though...

Any opinions on whether or not they are fire worms? Way bigger and more abundant than I've ever seen bristle worms in my old tanks...

I've noticed that all of the worms in my tank now look like this.. where before I saw what I knew to be regular small bristle worms regularly...
I had a 6 line wrasse for the last year and heard they can eat bristle worms... could he have eaten all the bristle worms and left only the fireowmrs? Or will fireworms kill smaller bristle worms? (Just sharing my thoughts)
TIA

Bristle worm and not welcomed in my tanks
Some reefers luv them for eating detritus and uneaten food
