Hey guys, found this little worm like creature with spiky red banded appendages. It sort of comes out at night time with lights off, but not completely. It seems to hang out around the hammer coral.

Sorry for the poor photo. Only half decent one I could get of it before it hides with the flash/light. It’s on the bottom right of photo/hammer coral.

Maybe a bristle worm. But theres no way to tell with this quality.
 
Thanks guys! It definitely looks like it, haven’t seen it leave the rock work but definitely thinks it’s that given the banded appendage on it.
