What is this?

Hey guys,

my zoas haven’t opened today, I looked closely and there’s this small worm
What is it? Is it bad?

Can't tell 100% because the pic is blurry... but you sure it is a worm? It almost looks like the arm of a brittle star.

If you can take another pic or two later, please try to. Also let us know if you see more than one or if the entire thing comes out and you can see a definite end to it.

Appears to be serpant star as Guapo said- picture quality not helping to positively I.D.

it really doesn’t seem to be a starfish. It’s just one long small worm
