Can someone confirm if this is a Eunice worm or something else

It could be: look carefully at the head: if you see tentacles there---5, I think---that is a eunicid.

Here's a little better photo. I can't find any pics that look exactly like it. Some pics of Eunice look like it then some pics of fireworms look like it. It's hard to tell but it looks like more than 5 tentacles on his head, he also has the same long tentacles all the way down his body. It looks like one comes off of each of his feet thingys

I think eunice, there are tentacles at the head

I think it's not a eunicid, but I'm far from a worm expert. Maybe Leslie will drop by, she was in here a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't put it back in my tank in any case.

Looks like it has more than 5 tentacles. I will guess family Hesionidae (or Hesioninae if it's not recognized as a family now).

Thank y'all for helping me out.

Yea,it's not going back in the tank. It was on the sand when the lights came on this morning & I knew it wasn't a bristle worm so I scooped him up. I was just curious if anyone knew what it was because I sure didn't.
