I've just noticed an orange spot on a tentacle of a torch that I purchased two days ago. When watching closer, I noticed that are actually two of them and they seem to be inside the tentacle and they are moving up and down. Also, that tentacle has a brown line along it.
I removed the torch from my tank, but was not able to see that orange spot anymore.
What can it be?

Video does not play and would have been too short at 3 seconds. Please repost under white light intensity and of at least 20 seconds.
If it has a wiggly like tail to it, may be a worm
