Common name: Fireworms

Amphinomidae, commonly known as fireworms, are a family of polychaete worms characterized by their bristly appearance and potent sting. They are found in various marine environments and are known for their bright colors and active nature. Fireworms can be both fascinating and risky additions to a reef aquarium. They are detritivores, feeding on dead organic material, but can also prey on small invertebrates or nip at corals. Hobbyists should handle them with care due to their stinging bristles, which can cause irritation.
