ID green worm?

[hummel]

I took the last two days cleaning everything in the 60 cube to try to rid of some algea and redo the rock work. Found thins in the HOB overflow. I think its a bristle worm but want to be sure. Should I throw him back in? Never seen a green one before. It has red bristles if that helps.

I also thought it looked like a green bristle worm though I have never seen one. Out of curiousity, I did a quick search and found
"Bristle worms attain a length of about four or five inches and their iridescent bodies can vary from green to red".
But I still am not sure what it is!

anybody? I've tried to search on the web with still no clue. There's always pics of red bristle worms. I'm guessing that what it is. If I can get a pos. I'd kinda like to put it back in if it's not preditory.

Its a bristle worm, or harmless variation. You can get rid of it, or throw it back in the fuge, either one
