I have my christmas tree rock in my quarantine tank right now. dipped it the first day I got it and now I see this crawling out of it. Is it a bisma worm? very hard to see looks like it has 4 spikes on top of head and then legs like a millipede on bottom. I have a small video of it dont know if i can post on here

Did it come out of a whole in the coral? If it did then is it possibly one of these?

I immediately thought of that when I saw this. It won't look directly at me so it's hard for me to tell. Keeps facing the rock work in tank

I don’t mean to hijack the thread with a kinda off topic question but a Christmas tree rock is full of worms. Wouldn’t dipping the rock kill the worms?

i read that dipping it would kill the worms so i did a quick FW dip rather than using the disinfectant dip i usually use. all the worms are fine. never had a hitch hicker from previous FW dips i have done so i am bugging out about this one

I use Detol for all my dipping, in the proper amount with saltwater, works the same as coral Rx and others....bugs zip out at 90 mph

It does look like it has one enlarged "thing" on the side which matches the crab, it also ducked into its hidey hole pretty quick which again suggest crab to me. what if you put a small mirror in there on an angle, would that allow you to see it head on?
