Hey, I bought this GSP a few days, I used the dip before adding it to the tank and yesterday I noticed this worm on it. My intuition says it's a bristle worm, however, just want to be sure since I'm new to the hobby and it seemed to come out of the coral tissue. Can someone help me ID it? It's very tiny, so apologies for the picture quality.

Common bristleworm. Good cleanup crew but populations are driven by food availability. They are reef safe but do not handle with bare hands.

Bristleworm. Can be good CUC members. Some people love them, some hate them.
