Hey just picked up this little frag rock of zoas, any idea what these worms are? I've seen 2 extentions that look like they're coming from the same spot, very thin and translucent white. When I get tweezers next to it it goes back in the rock. Looks like when it's extended it's trying to just feel around the sand bed.

Trying to get a video but it knows I'm taking pics

Here's the best I could do

bump....

It's hard to make it out with the blue lights!

I dug through the forums and it seems to be detritus eating worms. Not segmented and no visible head. Just elongate from the rock and feel around I've counted 4 of them. They seem to hang out next to each other in a set of 2. They retreat into the rock fairly slowly when approached by the cleaner

I should check the forums more often before panicking and posting bad pics
