Anyone know what these are? I’m suspecting baby bristle worms? Extremely small and extremely hard to capture.

Power head and return off for coral feeding.

Its a cousin to the bristleworm known as dorvillidae worm. Reef safe and eats uneaten food and detritus. Bristleworms not welcome in my tanks but these I would accept if I found one
 
Any possibility it could be a bobbit?
Hmmm, I’ll take a look again when I get to a computer screen as we just landed in Miami and I can’t open video on my phone

I’m actually thinking it’s not since it was swimming at the top and walking along the glass. I’ve never dealt with either worms but I would think bobbits would burrow much like bristles do.
Thanks for looking.

Bobbit out of question. Epitoke very similar but the swimming actions suggests dorvillidae
