I was finally able to isolate this guy and pull it out.

In my experience bristle worms body type is a bit thinner and the bristles are not as fluffy. Also the color of the bristles are more translucent on bristle worms compared to a more white fluffy with red bristles on fire worms.

Fire worms body color is more white and red also with a pearly sheen over it. This isn’t as pretty as some images you may google.

Here with the red circle is a bit clearer for the bristles on this fire worm. They look almost rusty red brown with the white.

This time in the yellow the body has a white outer edge with a almost pearly sheen over it.
