bristle worm/watchman goby

[boomer 453]

my watchman goby is acarrying around what appears to be a small bristle worm of some kind in his mouth. The worm is small (1") and orange red in color, he doesn't appear to be trying to eat it just carrying it around. Never saw this worm before and assume it came in on some live rock, my question is this- is the bristle worm/worm dangerous to the goby?

How long has it been? I'm wondering if it isn't another type of parasitic worm. If it's prickly like all bristles are, perhaps it's just literally stuck there and the goby hasn't been able to dislogde it just yet.
