looks like a bristle worm to me

Yup. Bristleworm

thats what i thought but it was a lil drifferent.. and ive never heard of bristle worms moving stuff around, do they do that?

What exactly was he lifting weights with? He might have been taking ahold of something attached to that piece that he wanted to eat.

polychaete worm

I have one that looks as if he is as big around as a sharpie maker, and about 9 to 10 inches long, he comes out every now and then when I spot feed, and harrases the hairy mushrooms, but outher then that, I never had any problems with them. I have tons of small ones all in my tank, and sump, there is no left over food they scour anything that hits the sand

Nasty little bugger. Take a good look at his face... does he look like this guy?

Someone in our club just found a worm that I believe was similar to the one in the link... his was only 2 ft.

he would come out when i target feed and obviously to move stuff around by his cave..

i had a lil frag of zoas there and he used to pop it up real quick and look around and duck back down. but in the pictures he is lifting a single clove polyp, i placed four in there and he is tossing out the final one.. for what?.. idk it wasnt even blocking his cave lol..
