Worm I.D [emoji218]

[AquaJunkie]

Maybe some member of the eunice family?
Definitely not bristle worm..

These stay very small and get no bigger then a half inch.

Had them over a year now in my mixed reef, so obviously no harm to corals.

Anyone have a name for this?

 

[Lovemyreef2015]

Could be a polychaete- Dorvilleidae. They are known to get up to 3in long. They are harmless if it is this.

Brissel worm? No?

Brissel worm? No?

If you zoom in close at the bottom of the worm you can see two line that make a fork. I don't believe bristle worms have that.
Edit: the head is different as well

 

[Lovemyreef2015]

Can you put it in a container to get a better close up of It?

Eurythoe complanata perhaps? They are member of the fireworms but stay much smaller than fireworms and are generally supposed to be a harmless scavenger.

Definitely a bristle worm it’s harmless

 

[ourcoralreef]

If you don’t like it get a wrasse (one that eats worms)
