I got my first tank set up about a week ago and just found this little creature poking out of the live rock. Any idea what it is and whether it’s safe to keep in the tank? Thank you!

Looks like a bristleworm. Good CUC. ;Happy
 
Thanks! I found another much smaller bristleworm in the tank that was easy to identify. When I saw this thicker one (about 4mm diameter) I instantly assumed it was a slug of some sorts, but now I can see how it would be a bristleworm. Thanks for the help!
