you sure it's not a run of the mill bristlworm, which is pretty harmless. a fireworm on the other hand is not, they have traps for worms and similar critters, may wanna try one of those. Or simply manually removing them...good luck with that one

And have some light muriatic acid/water mix to get those bristles out...or some scotch tape, that works too.
