Found a couple of these small worms this evening in my biocube, after lights out. Is this a baby bristle worm? Or something else I should be concerned about?

 
Can you get a little closer? we need to see the head.

Definitely not any kind of bristle or fire worm, way too fast.

really can't see it at all.

Please get a still photo much closer up video will be okay also, but get REALLY close. like gross close please.

Ok...I put it in a yellow bowl. Appears to be somewhat red in color. Hopefully this image will help:

Super weird.

I have no idea whatsoever :D haha sorry.

can't tell if those are feelers or Eyes....

almost look like eyes.....

What's in the tank right now? how old is it?

Trying to see if it's spawn or just existing from awhile....

@KJ would probably know if it is indeed a hitchhiking type of critter.
 
Black eyes and almost diamond white marks? I yanked one out of my gulf rock tank. Wasn't sure what it was but was confident the tank would survive without it.

Bristleworm epitoke will move that fast
 
No worries. I'll attach another picture. It is really small....like maybe half an inch.

The tank is a 32 gallon biocube. 6 fish, 7 zoas, 1 frogspawn, 1 emerald crab, 1 rock anemone, and 1 bubble tip anemone. The tank is 10 years old - and if it matters - I'm currently battling prorocentrum dinos.

I have a small Chaeto refugium in the back.
