Upgrading from my 120 to a 150 used and found this guy under live rock it is bigger than what the pic shows, imagine the size of your thumb. My question is it a Bobbit worm or a fire worm I personally think it's a Large fire worm but I'm not an expert please help

that's a very pretty and disgusting bristle worm.. bobbit's are segmented... and grosser... and have longer legs... more like a centipede...

Definitely not Bobbit. Bobbit worms have 4 antenna on the business end.
Big fire worm you got there... You can tell by the bristles along the sides.
I don't recommend petting that one unless you are really into itchy pain.
