Im guessing this is some sort of Bristle worm but I wanted you guys to see and give me an opinion. Thanks for your help.

Well, I went and got him out of the tank, so heres a much better shot. Hes not really green but a light pinkish brown color. Thanks in advance.

Somebody may correct me, but that looks very much like a "fireworm". Don't handle him, he'll hurt you pretty bad if he stings you with those spines. I had one in my 100G that was like 4-5" long!

Amazingly, they look so soft. I didnt touch him anyway, I nabbed him in my net as I was worried about that.

Is this something I should keep out of my tank or free him back in? Thanks again
