Bristleworm or Fireworm?

Hi!
I was trying to get a fallen frag today when I moved some rock and ended up having to do some re-working... Well, I set a frag outside of the tank for a couple minutes... When I went to put it back in, I found this BIG worm... It's pale orange with numerous small white bristley things on its sides... It's segmented and is quite flat... I have it in a mason jar for now and am wondering if it'd be ok to put in my fuge... If it's a fire, I'm just gonna preserve it... If it's just a big bristle I'll put it in my fuge... Thanks!

whew... so I won't get any hideous burning sensation if I accidentally brush up against it while messing around in my fuge?

Well, it still hurts when ya get poked by them. Vinegar usually melts the bristles really fast if you get poked. Bigger bristleworms mean bigger bristles.
