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!

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.
