Hi
Notice this a week ago but thought it was coral slime at first…… Double check it to day as I though it was weird been in same place again…..
As soon as you shine a light on it it retracts into the rock work….. either think some type of brittle star or worm …. Video is crap as just off iPhone but can get cannon video later if required…
Can see segments on the creature
Thanks in advance….
 
Best way is uploading to YouTube and then share a link, or a picture under white light
 
It looks a bit like nemertea, ribbon worm
 
Last 20 second you can see it suck back in when I touch it….. Saw a leg at other side of tank before it went to that side and found it to be light sensitive aswell…
 
Used real reef rock which is dry rock and dipped all corals….. unless it’s from using af life source mud
 
Just watch the worm, and found the leg you can see on the video is the complete worm….. just about 6 inch long…… seen it pass out of a hole into another.
 
Most probably came in a coral, I wouldn’t be able to advice if it’s something to keep or remove as I don’t have a personal experience with them, I would wait to see what other say or google the one you got to see if any information is available. Sorry not being able to help you further
