100.3 gallon reef tank checked my sump to see if i could see any life to my surprise theres plenty of life including acoel flatworm, spirorbid worms, hydroid jellyfish, and some kind of string thing that has something that looks like aiptasia on the end except its all white that i still havent id and then 2 worms i seen that looked like a bristle worm but im leaning more towards dorvilleidae since i seen it on the glass in my sump scavenging usually bristleworms are hiding but these werent ill also attach a video but my phone wasnt able to focus very well hopefully you guys can help me identify it and maybe even the other weird thing i seen and keep in minf that this reef tank is only about 7 months old now thanks alot hopefully ill be able to figure everything out

Hey Josh I can't see any video. Maybe post some pictures?
 
Likely dorvillidae as they will climb rocks and structures whereas bristles confine themselves to sand and lower part of tank

thanks yeah there was more than one worm tho the other one was too small for me to tell but im guessing its the same thing but the one in the video im almost sure is a dorv from the way its head and tail looks
