HI, regulars.

Agree. Regular. They actually have beautiful blue on them in the right light.

+1 I don't know about "regular" but it doesn't look like the bearded fireworm.

Thanks everyone.

I know I've got a good quantity of worms as I see movement during lights out and when I feed. But these were just crawling around in the middle of light cycle on the sponge in the picture.

I think a tang dropped a duece near the rock and they smelled a late afternoon snack

This image provides a great comparison:

See pic-
Left is fire and right is common bristle

What about this thick boi I saw after cleaning the glass? The red at the base of his bristles and its general size make me think fire...

Not yet, but there's always a chance they could turn into one.
