Unidentified Worm

[jbrock183]

I saw this guy crawling around my baby zoas last night. Does anyone know what type of wormlike critter this is and whether he’s good or bad for my coral?

The picture isn’t clear. He was so small and similar color to the rock I zoomed in as close as I could.

Looks like ye olde bristle worm. Don't grab it with your fingers and remove if you feel an infestation coming on, but they're generally beneficial detritivores.

They're evil

Is it safe to my corals if I just leave him alone or should I try to remove him?

Just leave it in, they're reef safe
