It looks cool! Looks like some sort of worm.

Peanut worm maybe?

It is very hard to see in the video. If I had to guess I'd agree with @GoldeneyeRet that it's a peanut worm.

That is the first thing that came to mind. That mouth is just so weird though.

I saw a glimpse of antenna as well. There are black eunicids. It's hard to make out details since it's dark on dark.

I agree, never seen a peanut worm with antenna. Hopefully a better pic can be provided

Im gonna go with DSC and others on this one eunicid Seamonsterum , yank that badboi

So here are some other details to see if it helps. It came out just after a feeding. It was in the day with all the lights on. It is very small. I haven’t seen it again yet. It is way to fast and small to catch. Here is a picture from when the tank was started. It is in the bottom left rock which supports the whole structure.

So here is another video. It doesn’t look good. Makes my skin crawl.

@Auquanut There it is... Visual Proof of your speculation. Is that a Brissel Worm?

Sticking with my previous guess.

Andrew_3896 · Dec 2, 2019

So it looks like a eunicids right. How did I mange to get one in my tank. I will take the rock out. I don’t see any other way. How long can the rock stay out of water before it will start dying. I would like to get the thing out and then put the rock back it.

Auquanut · Dec 2, 2019

Well, I gotta go with @DSC reef.

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. I thought I nailed it with my kracken guess.

CasaReefer · Dec 2, 2019

How scary can you be if your named Peanut.... What a disappointment.. Good Luck

CasaReefer · Dec 2, 2019

Great Minds..

Looks like a graboid to me. Careful, they can grow to immense size!

Just hope it’s not one of these ;Wideyed

I can’t see the vid but that’s what I thought of when I read some of the description. Bobbit worms are no joke.

What's on the rock? You can leave it out for quite a while, depending on what's growing on it. Looks like you used dry rock so he probably came in on a frag.
