I found a thin long worm wrapped around my Xenia coral (coral is large and fluffed out so im guessing no harm is being done). I saw it there before, but thought it may have been a healing spot or something. I saw it again this evening and I touched it with a feeding stick. shot away quick as lighting into the polyps of the Xenia. It came out a few seconds later, but when I tried to suck it up it dashed into the rock. I dont have a pic, but it was about 2-3 inches long, the head was slightly whiter than the body, and it was about half the thickness of a spaghetti noodle. if this something I need to work about or is it ok? can anyone ID it based off of my description?? please help if you can.
 
update: It came back and I got a pic. I also saw it better. has small cars on it and longer hairs at its head/end. pic isn't that great. sorry. its wrapped around the stalk of the Xenia

Look like either of these.

There are xenia eating nudis but the look like xenia on the top. Which i dont see, or reading your description.
 
hey guys. ok, I saw it better today and tried to suck it off. could not get it. it can hold on really well. im beginning to think its just a baby bristle worm. I saw a big one in a hole really close to it. could this be possible? never seen a white/transparent bristle worm.
