Worm ID Help! Not bobbit, bristle, fire, or oenone. Clueless.

I've removed two of these guys, there's one more on a large rock that a lot of my crabs hide in during the day that I would dip entirely but I'd rather not accidentally kill the crabs.
I can't find an ID anywhere.

I've been told it was an Oenone Fulgida, but I haven't seen any species with hair like this one has and I haven't found any loss of snails or slime surrounding the worm.
Up close I don't see any pincers like a bobbit would have.
I don't think it's a bristle or fire worm either.

Anyone with more experience than me have a positive ID?

Thanks!

Harmless polychaete. Good part of your CUC. No way to ID with your video. To get it down to Genus you would need a dissecting scope, so cannot help you there. You really want (or should want) diversity in your tank.
