Let me know if you know what it is and if it's one of the good guys. Thanks.

Haha dang apple and Samsung can’t we all just get along

This worm is really white to be a bristleworm but the legs look like a bristleworm to me. Maybe @crabs_mcjones wouldn’t mind taking a swing at this one

I had the same thoughts. I hope it's just a harmless detritivore.

I don’t want to falsely get your hopes up but I’ve noticed a lot of the more really white hitchhikers are more commonly found harmless but everyone has their own share of run ins with hitchhikers
 
It definitely looks like a segmented worm of some sort. Let's see if someone else from #reefsquad knows. But I always go with " When in doubt take it out" can't harm anything to remove it:)
 
Thanks! My tank was started with dry rock so must have come in on a frag.
Dip those frags! I use bayer on everything now. I can’t comment on long term effects but I’ve dipped anemones,zoas,hammers,trachy,torches, blastomussas, acans all in 10 percent bayer to water ratio for 10 min and I’ve never lost a coral. Here’s the bottom of my dip after a few hammer corals were dipped

I do! I dip in revive for 10-15min then observe for 45 days and do further dips if I notice anything. But I did get some bayer the other day so I'll be using a better dip now. But also I had to move all my frags out and just put them in the tank early the other day. I had a fungia that was STN'n on me and had what looked like the start of BJD so I had to separate it from the rest of the herd. So that may be when they got in. But no biggie. These seem to be harmless thankfully.

Ohhh okay well right on it’s cool to see so many reefers taking pride and care of their reefs!
