Okay I know there is likely no way for anyone to help but I figured what the heck. Yesterday I noticed a really thin bright red "worm" like critter on the back glass of my reef tank. It was about 3/4 to 1" long, consistently thin from top to bottom. It was clinging to the back glass, wiggling one end a little, then it basically "scrunched" itself up and kind of sprang off the class into the water column to relocate itself. It was really "swimming" but it drifted to a rock structure. This was all on the backside of the tank so I couldn't see where it ended up exactly, but when it "jumped" off the glass and was free floating, it drew the attention of my Royal Gramma and Clownfish who looked at it up close but left it alone. Has anyone ever seen something like this? As far as I could see it didn't have any defining features like bristles or segments. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, no pictures. It moved to the back of my aquascape within a minute of me noticing it. Trust me if I see it again I will try and snap a pic. Thanks.
