Found this around/inside the mouth of a Scolymia. It's very tiny, any IDs? I think I saw some of them before inside LR, but never on a coral. So now i'm pretty curious to what it is and more importantly, what does it eat?

It's very small (like half an inch), but do Dorvellidae worms have 5 tentacles? This one seems to have 5 and I thought that was typical for Eunice sp?

I'm counting 7 tentacles on this one - 3 orange and 4 white (the two white on each side are close together, so you have to look really close to see them); I'm not sure what kind of worm it would be based on that, but it likely is from the same taxonomic order (Eunicida) as both Dorvilleids and Eunicids.

That thing is actually pretty cool looking. I'd isolate it and try to raise it up into a monster.
