it most definitely is a polychaete of some type, only question is - what type? A more detailed picture of the head region would be most helpful for trying to distinguish between normal scavenger type bristle worms and a fireworm. It does have an unusual body shape.

Definitely NOT a 'traditional' bristle worm. Looks like it has two distinct eyespots on the head?

Does it have any antennae?
