I moved one of my frags and underneath it this appeared in the sand. I plucked it out with tweezers and I am trying to identify what it is.

It’s round but then when it moves it flattens out.
 
Hmm, weird. I never seen a flat worm move like that before. Type of sea slug. Have you noticed anything decline in health?

Can you get a close up of the critter?
 
This is kind of a small peanut worm. They can retract to where the mouth is fully hidden.

Peanut worm which is completely reef safe and will clean up leftover food and a little detritus.
