'Fireworm' is the common name for stinging polychaete ('many bristle') worms. That would refer to any of the 'bristleworms' we find in marine aquaria. The only one that is actually harmful in aquaria is Hermodice carunculata, which is a fiery red creature that is often seen during the day. The others are more bashful and pinker in colour.
I find them cute...
Interesting. I know that they will usually come out when they smell food.but the population periodically produces quite striking red and also light yellow individuals - and they're often out during the day as well
