Noticed a few of these small worms in my 20g reef lobster tank. Tank was started with dry rock a few months ago, I added some coral from my established tanks and ordered snails from reefcleaners. Other than that and the lobster nothing wet has been added. Worm is small, light colored, relatively fast moving and appears to have 4 feelers/tentacles on its head. Sorry for the poor photos it’s pretty tiny.

Not an expert, but I think it's a bristle worm

I don’t think so, at least not your common bristle worm. The way it moves around quickly and has 4 feelers in its head is different than any bristleworm i’ve ever encountered.
