Is there any love rock from your display in the QT?

 

[Eoka]

Yes but I've never seen it before it's live rock from my DT

My phone doesn't blow up the pic very well but possibly a spaghetti worm or detritus worm....

Also my yellow coris wrasse was acting super weird, it had low energy sometimes would just lay on the substrate and the worm thing didn't appear to be able to do anything. So I'm 90% positive it's some internal paracite. I wonder if there's more I just added carbon because I though the prazi pro was messing with the wrasse.

Wrasse sometimes react poorly to prazipro, you need to add extra aeration to the tank (not just circulation).

That worm is not a parasite - the picture isn't clear, but it definitely has segments, the only fish parasite that has segments are leeches and leeches do not have those long spines (setae)....therefore it isn't a parasite.

How big is it?
Maybe a dorvilleidae if one of the ends has tentacles on the face.
