Bristle worms are also known as polychaetes, and they're part of the segmented work phylum know as Annelids. The name "polychaete" translates in Greek to "many hairs." Those stiff hairs are called setae, and for most poylychaetes, they're attached to a paddle-like appendages called the parapodia that branch off each segment of the worm. But if we can imagine that it spends its like crawling around the sand and feeding on algae or whatever else it can take a bite out of. You can see this one moving its mouth in a slow motion, like a weird pair of pincers inside clamping down on something, and the movement is even more dramatic in full speed.
