Update - Solved They are baby bristle worms

=======================================

Just found these critters on a new coral I missed.

I haven’t been able to ID looking around. Can someone please help me out? What should my concern level be? TIA!

Looks like bristleworms

Neutral IMO. Can over populate if given opportunity, and become a nuisance

Looks like bristleworms

Are they though? They look, a little scarier than the ones I've got. But if so those are way cooler than mine.

They look curled up.

Curled up bristleworm. The top one for sure

Baby bristleworms and although not welcomed in my tanks are desired by many as cleanup crew as they eat detritus and uneaten food.

Bristleworms. Not bad, per se. They are detritivores and can be beneficial. Their population will self limit based on available nutrients. If it gets out of control it should alert you to bigger issues.

Thanks all - well I guess that’s an achievement unlocked for this noob.

My partner is like “I’m out, the tank is all yours”
