I was at Reef A Palooza this weekend and picked up a colony of Zoanthids. As this was my first coral I did some reading the night before. I was concerned if I should dip... read several threads both for and against. Most agreed it should be done.

So when I arrived home tonight I did some acclimation and dipped the colony.... I 'm glad I did. Several small worms, and one big one came off along with some smaller stuff that might have just been debris. I was so shocked at the bigger worm I did not pay close enough attention to the other stuff.

Not sure what kind of worm this is or if its a bad thing but I don't really want it in my tank.

Any ideas on what it is?
