Hyperactive worm ID

[PTXReef]

Hey Reef squad,

Can anyone ID this guy? Is it just another type of bristleworm? It swims very quickly and upon capturing it, it released tons of small white eggs. It’s head has some slight orange and the body is mostly clear, with small bristles/hairs. Video may be tough to see but does anyone recognize the critter based on its movements? Thanks in advance!!

Can’t open videos. Any still pics under white light ?

I think it's a dorvilleidae worm.
