Hello I’m newer to the hobby just got my first anemone. While I’m acclimating it, I noticed a small black worm like creature crawling on it then disappeared back into the tentacles. I just want to be sure this is nothing bad before I put it in my tank.

Hey welcome to the hobby, I would like to help but it’s unclear. It is not common to find a worm traveling on an anemone so my first thought is maybe there is a anemone crab sheltered in there. But if you could leave the anemone in a holding tank for observation, maybe if a little time passes you can catch a better photo of the hitchhiker?
