Bristleworm??

[colenaylor]

Wondering if this is a bristle worm.. I know I have some in here but this this is super fast and doesn’t seem like it is one, and if it is not a good one. Also, ignore the golden girls commentary in the background

hi,sorry video not working for me. :)

I'd have to agree. Doesn't look like a typical bristle worm. Following. Hopefully someone else can ID it for you.

I’d luv to help but can’t see any images
Similar are dorvillidae and Syllids/Myrianida worm which are often confused with bristle

Idotea linearis maybe??

I don’t think so, this thing has legs that aren’t visible and then the “legs” are the spines on the side

Yep I think you’re right! A coral from a few weeks ago, but as long as it’s okay then I don’t care

coral killers usually do bad things pretty quick, a couple eat the standard aquarium polychaetes keeping the numbers in check a little bit, some munch on amphipods occasionally, but most that make it in the tank end up being scavengers

Looks very similar to a phantom sea slug

Would a coral banded shrimp take care of it?

I wouldn't think theres anything to take care of lol. he's been there for weeks not bothering the corals, maybe he has been there since the beginning and you never seen him.

Okay cool! Thanks for the help

yeah even me, as someone quite perceptive of any small animals in the tank had just yesterday spotted a Terebellid worm with inch long bright orange tentacles. The implication is, this animal has remained below my sights for a full year.
