Help ID this (worm?)

[Tyranosaurus]

I'm new two this hobby and found this in my tank. I removed it right away since I didn't put it in my tank knowingly. I tried looking for common critters and pests but it doesn't quite appear to match what I saw?

Looks like a lot of pretty short legs with two long antennae.

Any help is appreciated.

Hard to make out the details against that back round.

 

[Palyzoa]

Maybe a syllid worm or a bristle worm.

Ok here's a less garbage picture; I was in a rush to get to work this morning. Don't mind the white part near the right, it's holding on to a small rock.

It looks like it might be in the family of those but it doesn't seem to match anything in that list exactly.

Also for reference, it's about a half inch long.

My best guess would be a type of Munnid Isopod

Closest I could find is a Erichsonella attenuata. They are part of the Isopod family. Here is a picture. Oh and welcome to R2R.

That looks pretty close. Might be our match.

Also, being new to this, is this something I should remove if I find others or is this reef safe?
Right now my tank has a basic cuc (snails/hermits), a pistol/goby, cleaner shrimp and a handful of corals. My latest addition was some chaeto algae that was seeded with copepods so maybe it hitched a ride on that?

They are not bad guys and you do not have to remove them from your tank.
