Could be a type of bristleworm, i saw some very fluffy looking ones when i was scuba diving in the Med.
 
I've seen nudi's with all sorts of projections

Could be a type of fireworm, although I can't say I ever recall seeing one with yellow hairs, mostly orangy/red.

Agree with Viper, that is a fireworm.

Not reef safe, can grow to 300mm long, eats corlas, bivalves and sometimes fish.
