Give the Bearded Fireworm a Wide Berth
Description:
While this bristleworm scours the bottom, you don't want to get in it's way.Those little white chaetae,are chocked full of venom.If you don't pester it, you can watch it do worm stuff and It won't bother you either. Get as close as you're comfortable.Apparently, when they get disturbed the bristles are more pronounced.
