fireworm or harmless bristle worm?

[quaddity]

I have a few of these in the tank, this particular one is about 5-6" long. I'm guessing it's not a fireworm it doesn't look like most of the pictures I've seen of them.

Looks like a bristle worm to me.

its a bristle fer sure they are a benificial member of your clean up crew in moderation

 

[Airborneguy]

yup, bristle.... I'm finally starting to see them. Hopefully they breed a little and get into my sand.

Breed a little..........LOLOL.

So if I have a population explosion of them in 12 gal tank what's the best solution? Arrow crab?

I have a 4 line wrasse in a 10gal. He seems to keep the critters at bay pretty darn good.

Hopefully they won't go crazy in there I have 2 false percs in there already which is pushing it for a 12 gal. So no fish solution. Arrow crab and Coral Banded shrimp I'm not too thrilled about either. I guess if I start seeing more and more I'll try the baited pantyhose and/or Coralife trap.
