Hello, I have this bad problem with some type of worms, I think
there fire worms but not too sure if someone could help me to
identify what type it is and get them out of the tank that wouldbe great!. They just killed one of my turbo snails and the worm that
did it was about 10 inches long and looked to be a reddish brown
with many legs almost looked like a centipede. I will try to include
a picture of the thing.

It's a britle worm, also known as the Fire Worm as you said. They are harmless, and exelent scavengers for the tank! There are myths that say they they will eat coral and fish; this is not true. Others will say that larger worms can harm inverts, this is also not true. Put it back in the tank, they are harmless. If you really don't want it, give it to me :) Your turbo likely died from poor water quality.
