Looks like dorvillidae worms but pics a little fuzzy to confirm

Sorry. I only have my crappy S7 camera to work with. I just turned on the lights and found one on the glass. This is worm #1. I thought maybe worm #2 was a spaghetti worm, but it looks different than other spaghetti worms I've seen. Its more illusive too.

Now that im home and can see better pics, first is Synaptids, related to sea cucumbers and commonly called medussa worms although not a worm at all. They are detrivores and similar to various holothuroids, the standard feeding behavior of reef-dwelling synaptids is to anchor about 1/3 of the body into some secure hole, and then extend the anterior 2/3 of the body to feed (they can do the water balloon trick with only part of their body if they desire.
Second worm looks like a spaghetti worm or other terebellid
