After lights out last night I noticed two worms/slugs free swimming in my tank.

I have not done a proper quarantine on corals here lately (only dipping in coralRx then straight in) as well as some livestock that went straight in within the last two weeks. (A skunk cleaner shrimp, an Acid Rain BTA, Tuxedo Urchin, Porcelain Crab)

The mechanics behind how it swims made me immediately think Nudi but I would like the opinion of the masses. I tried to catch it to get some photos however it was too fast and the flow kicked it around too much. The video is the best I have and I know its not of great quality or detail.

Any suggestions is helpful.

It's an epitoke. The reproductive stage of a bristle or other worm. Harmless.
