What sort of worm is this?

[EBR]

Well, I was sitting and watching the tank tonight, and noticed this little bugger crawling around in the open. Last time I saw him, he was less than an inch -- now almost three!

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what this is. I've heard conflicting opinions on other forums about bristle worms (or is this a fire worm?) Either way, can someone ID him for me and pass on some advice? As for corals, I've got some zoos, xenia, sinularia, colt, and some cabbage.

Thanks.
Matt

Looks like bristle worm to me. Occassionally you might get a "bad" worm but, for the most part, they are harmless. I'd leave him.
