Orange Fire Worm GALLERY

Eurythoe complanata

Like the Bearded Fireworm, the Orange fireworm eats dead bio matter. These worms also can cause sever paid if you get their bristles in your skin.  The body segments are narrower and the head is less massive looking. Most often orange in color but can have shades of grey in body color. The Orange Fireworm is usually hiding under rocks and rubble, while the Bearded Fireworm is traveling over corals, rocks and other exposed surfaces.
