Multi-legged Worm

[azreefkeeper]

Whatever it is, it can scamper up the glass pretty fast. Seems to have many small legs like a millipede and tiny antennae. Whitish exoskeleton or segments. Smallish - about an inch long and maybe 2mm in diameter. First time I've seen it and the tanks been running for 2 years.

Very cool! Always love a new hitchhiker surprise
Hard to see from the video, but look like any of these?:

Thanks SFREEF3R. Not really, at least not unless what I have is a juvenile that lacks the distinguishing colors or morphology. If I see it again I will try to get a better picture. I have several corals, snails, fish, and hermits so curious if this is a parasite or predator to those. It might just be after small prey - pods, etc. It doesn't look like a herbivore based on its head shape, antennae and movement.
