That there is a HUGE bristleworm. I would remove it and put it in the refugium if you have one.

This worm is on my 72bf that is at my ex gf's house, she doesn't have a refugium but i'm inprocess of finally getting to using the large part in my sump as a refugium, so should i just throw it in there or just leave it in her tank and just watch to see if it does any harm, also while we are talking refugium what's the best route a 2-3 in sand bed with what in it???

I wouldn't leave it in the main tank. They can get a bit aggressive when they get that large. As for what to put in a refugium, I use a 4" sandbed and a variety of calupra.
