ID this critter

[jmt1030]

Anyone know what this is? Just saw it in my tank this morning. Should I pull it out?

Wow. I am actually stumped. I would pull it out and leave it in a cup with some tankwater until someone gives an ID. Check out melevsreef.com in the meantime

Looks like a Medusa worm.synapta maculata to b exact. Harmless and really cool!

Could it be a small feather duster that's growing a new crown?

 

[reef lover]

Although I did just read that large specimens can b toxic to fish when they die....

The head of it looks like a feather duster.

I'd compare it with this description/pics just to be sure it's harmless: https://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhikers-guide/polychaete-eunice/

Not a feather duster. I'd remove it, could be a eunice.
