Mr. Eiseman,
I'd say certainly Nereididae for the family.
As to genus (this is a suggestion based on what I can and can't see) I would say Nereis (I don't see branched gills, do see paragnaths, they look to be all conical, not bars, and they are present on both basal and maxillary rings).
I'm sure someone else on the list might be able to get you further or more precisely than this.
Aloha ‘oe,
Bryn Villers
