I saw this pest under my bubble coral. Anyone know what is it? And how to treat it?

Many thanks
Chihiro

Really hard to see it clearly. Does it move and stretch out? I would guess a bristleworm if so. Harmless detrivores but can grow in large numbers in very dirty tanks.

It's hard to tell from your picture, but does it look shrimp-like or worm-like. If shrimp like, possible an ampipod...a good thing.

If worm like, a curled up bady bristle worm???

Need a better picture.

Yes it moves and stretch out. I also searched on Google and it seems like bristle worm. Sorry I take photo in a rush because I think it is a bad worm and need to remove quick ^^. I have only one in my reef tank so far.

Yes I think it is like a worm more. It should be bristle worm. Thank you so much
