Bristle worms

[Hausser]

So i have what look like bristle worms on one of my acro's and i think they are eating the flesh. I had red bugs and killed them with centinal and now i have these thing and have not seen them before. I have not added any corals in probably 4 months or more. If not bristle worms what are they, any help is greatly appreciated.

Its hard to see but if a bristle worm ive never heard of em eating coral. Mines nearly 6 inches long now lol. Has pinkish body though. That one looks different.

Can you get a better pic? Because from that one, it doesn't even look like bristle worms

There are a few on my acro and i am going to dip them. The strange thing is i got red bugs and never added anything for months, i get this worm looking thing and have not added anything for months.

it honestly from the picture looks like brittle star arms.
Are they moving and definitely have two ends?

It is definitely harmless now it is dead. Trying to figure out why i am loosing flesh on my SPS, and it looked like worms until i dipped it. Thank everyone for help.
