Been tryin to I'd these guys for a while. They seem to stay in my fuge. I have seen as many as 7 at once. But normally one or two. They have yet to be seen in my display. I do have a six line though. Anyway, I look daily and spotlight nightly. They are not overbreeding nor do they seem to cause any harm. I found one that could be it. Says they eat the microlife commonly found in a reef. And not to be alarmed. But its not a possative I'd yet. Here is a pic as well as some micro bugs the tend to hang out with. The first sighting was months ago.this is bout the largest one ive seen. Less than a quarter inch. When I'm taking pics I can see two close set glowing eyes at the top of the large round portion. And they always have this exact shape when not moving. Any help is appreciated.

Does look like waminoa sp. Pumpkin worm. Says its only problem if it covers coral and blocks light. Eats deatris, algae, and copapods. With the six line in display I won't worry. Thx
