I was looking at the tank and I found this worm on the glass. It is extremely small; maybe a few milimeters in length
It looks like a small white worm when in the tank with the blue lights but in white light looks darker and under microscope almost like a blueish with a tiny bit of yellow on the head and red speckled around.
I’ve been trying to look online for a bit but I haven’t found anything that looks like it.
So far I have only found one.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I was looking and found Dorvilleidae worm. Could that be possible.

Potential baby bristleworm? I’m new to the hobby but this is my first thought. Someone with more experience might be able to provide better insight?
 
Syllid worm I believe, a ton of different species, some can cause harm to inverts, molluscs and corals where as other species don't seem to cause issues.
