I have started to see a number of these very small (1 - 2 millimeter) brown/orange worms on the zoa garden. Zoas seem fine.

I collected one and put it in water on the top of a small plastic coffee lid. Photo and video below.

I've read there are benign worms that match this size, but I'd like to request someone verify what these are. Thank you.
