Any ideas on the type of bristle worm this is?? Is he a fireworm?

looks like a common bristle worm (grown up)

That looks like a fireworm to me.

The color looks like a normal bristleworm but those white tufts scream "fireworm". When it doubt... toss the sucker out! (make sure you use gloves)

Thanks everyone, I'm gonna have to trap him. He's deep in the cave of my rocks.

Regardless of whether it's a fireworm or regular bristleworm, it does not look like the carnivorous fireworm. Many fireworms are as reef safe as common bristleworms.
