I just turned on my moonlight for first time ever while feeding coral about a half hour after full lights out and saw some weird swimming worms for the first time ever. Are these epitokes?

 
Most likely epitokes.. I’ve seen them in my tank after lights out and they tend to swim in a corkscrew like fashion. A picture I caught of one of them

It was! I captured one and left it in a Petri dish overnight. It was filled with eggs in the morning. Fun things when you keep a reef tank and look in the dark!
