Worm ID?

[Virgs0608]

I've tried to ID these guys, but I swear they look like 10 different worms when I tried comparing pictures. This is through one of those phone connected microscopes, as the worms were crawling through the sand. They're about 0.5in long, super thin, and white to the naked eye.

Picture is very fuzzy.

How do you think they got in? Coral frag? Live rock?

Do you see them at night or day, or both?

Here is a pic just zoomed in with the phone camera. It's late afternoon here, but they're under the sand so I'm not sure that counts as being out.

I'm assuming it had to be frags, as my rock was the purple cured life rock, but I dip everything. I actually dip with a higher concentration of the dip for a full 15 minutes specifically because I wanted to avoid anything getting in .

I got 7 new frags about 3 weeks ago, I'm thinking it had to be one of those.

Those look like bristle worms.

Baby bristleworms. ;)

They're okay, good CUC. Might scare you a bit in 2 or 3 year's time though.
