Defanitly not a bristle. Little blurry. Hard to tell. Cool though. Hope its not bad. If you have a clearer pic it would help. Appears round without bristles.
 
The darkened mark towards the front, the stripes across the body and the way the body lays in the picture, shows it moves like one and not that of a regular bristleworm. The bristles aren't ever really visible to the naked eye. It's when you take a macro shot, that they can be readily seen. If one were just looking in their tank, they would look for a small worm without bristles most of the time. Of course on larger individuals, the bristles are more evident..

Not all have stripes and some are dark with white stripes and every other color. One of mine I was able to catch a picture of, looks like this.

This was with a 100mm. You would never see this detail with the naked eye.
