Can anyone help identify this guy? He is only 1/4" long and looks like a tiny feather duster on one end. I removed him from a new frag while in quarentine, but want to know if he will be harmful if others make it to my display tank after the dips and quarentine process.

Thanks!

Thank you for all the replies. I dont think there will be anything to worry about if they do make it through the multiple dips!
