Found these in my canister filter. What are they? Should I be concerned?

It looks like a regular bristle worm to me. They are reef safe. They are cleaners. Just be careful of handling them. The bushing side are like little needles.
But it does look pretty plump. We would need more pics to verify. I had a species in my first tank that got real large and plump. It did have some red around the bristles but not a lot. They heavily reproduced and would get very large. It’s not a bearded fireworm but could be another species.
