Worm ID please

I found this today in my QT. I do have a piece of LR in the sump so he made it through 2 sump sections and over a baffle then through the pump. Anyway I think it's a bristleworm. Just not sure cause I've never actually seen the whole work just a small portion before. Thanks in advance.

Thx guys. Like I said I was pretty sure it was. Just checking. Any he's gone now, he doesn't belong in my QT.

yea, thats a big bristleworm. dottybacks are colorful and feed on bristleworms and also pesky mantis shrimp.
