Saw these small white worms in the live rock I purchased. This is my first tank, the rock was not dipped after picking it up from my LFS. Just wondering if this is a pest or something that is not harmful. There are no fish or coral in the tank and has been cycling for 3 days now. Should I be worried!?

Have you asked your LFS?
Looks like tentacles from a spaghetti worm or other detritivore.
