Dipped a frag and noticed this worm. It's at the bottom of a cup and it's tiny and skinny.

Actually that first picture is excellent. Were talking millimeters. Here's a smaller one.

I flushed that one. It's smaller than a eraser head when curled up. Next time I'll get a reference object for size.

The first picture is about eraser head size the way it's curled.

TY for looking. I would need to get them under a microscope to compare to your image. By the way what's above in your image?
The worm I pictured above is in the family dorvilleidae and the genus is Ophryotrocha. They are much smaller in size.
