Hey guys just noticed this worm about a month ago. He doesn’t seem to be bothering my fish, shrimp or corals and seems to just be eating algae. Anyone ever seen one of these before and know if they are reef safe?! Please help! I’m not sure whether to remove the whole rock or not.. It seems to be staying in the same piece of rock and he’s active during the day and night. Took an amazing video of him stretching out and eating the algae but format wouldn’t load from my iPhone 8 Plus.. you can see the algae enter it’s mouth and pass thru it’s body... Wild

Hard to tell without seeing the whole thing but it could be a peanut worm. Good clean up crew member if it is :)

Throw it up on YouTube and share the link. Sounds like a cool video!
