Does anyone know what this critter is? it is very long, only the second time I have seen it and the first time I have been able to get a video/photos. Never seen it’s head, only ever part of its body/tail. It seems to live in the rock. Had the tank set up for about 10months with Two clowns, two damzels, a starfish, five different species of corals.

It looks like a bristle worm to me. The fire worm is thicker, has a broader back and longer 'bristles'. Here is a link to what I think you have. They also have pics of fire worms at the site.

Thanks for the replies and welcome!
I initially thought a bristle but the more pictures I see the more I was leaning towards fireworm. It has been in the tank at least 3 months now and nothing has been lost.
video shows it’s flat, long and moves between the rocks. Had a power outage and went to check on the tank when power came back on and there it was slithering away.
