I know there are vermetids but they don’t bother my coral, and my wrasse and bumble bee snails pick at them. Look at this glass like worm. Doesn’t seem to be too bothered by light (turned them on for the pic) and it’s actively pulling in sand and detritus to its mouth. Doesn’t seem too bothered by motion either. Not sure if out during the day (will check tomorrow). Any thoughts? Almost looks like thin flowing glass strands.

Not an anemone (don’t think) as it’s pulling in food and debris in a few seconds to its mouth. pretty quick but not a snatch and grab either. Looks like it has a tube like base and it’s antennae are not really feather duster like (size, color, or thickness) and the strands are pretty sparse.
