Baby bristle worm?

[katsreef]

Sorry for the extremely poorly focused and short video.. was trying to be quick so I can attempt to remove it myself. I may have killed it and then it floated away or it survived and floated away unfortunately. Is this a baby bristle worm? I know for sure I have one in my tank.

Net and remove. Looks like planaria flatyworm

I looked that up and those seem thicker. This was really skinny throughout the whole worm

Well that doesn't make me too happy to see. I accidently squished it trying to remove/then it floated away. Not sure if it is dead... Would I be able to see these when they are on corals? I've only ever seen it on the glass this one time before I messed up and lost it.

New video because I found another. Is it that or something else?

That one is a dorvillidae worm and a cousin to the bristleworm. Very reef safe and one of the few allowed in my tanks. Eats detritus and uneaten food
