It's a 36g. I was thing of leaving 1 and putting the rest in yhe Fuge when I get it madeI have about 3 more this size in my tank and several little pink ones as well. I know they are not bad per say. But can become predatory. How many should I allow to stay in my tank?

So these are definitely bristle? What's the easiest way to tell the difference? I have been trying to look at pics but essentially the difference seems to be the bristles on the side Fireworms bristles look like tiny paint brushes. Which is what these guys bristles look like. But if they aren't harmful even when they get large I will leave them in there.
Thanks for the info! So by the looks of it the Fireworms will have multiple tufts. where the bristle Will only have 1 tufts. I am sorry but to the untrained eye they do look kind of similar. I have only been in the hobby for about 3 months. Maybe to someone who has had multiple years in the hobby could tell the difference at a glance but not to a nooby. Hence why I am asking.....Fireworm.No similarity. I cherished bristleworms a foot long in my tank, and lost them in a power-out. I've gotten some replacements, but they have a while to grow.
Good to know I often see them picking up pellets and taking them back in their home. Which made me believe they had some type of jaws. The reason I was worried is the picture on Lionfish liar of the "Caribbean Fireworms" look very similar to mine. And I found the culprit that was eating my snails and he is now removed from my tank. Turns out it was a polyclad worm. Any advice on what to do with the polyclad worm? Feel bad letting anything just die...but not sure how wanted these things are.
