Looking for some ID on this reef rock critter. There are a couple small worm things on this Fiji leather rock, and I have no idea what it could be! They appear to be coming out of their holes to eat the little old/decayed bits on the leather’s foot and then returning back into their holes. I have already found one baby feather duster, but it doesn’t look anything like these guys. Please let me know! I also am going to be taking out some aiptasia with Frank’s later!

Maybe a tunicate of some sort. Does it react to you shining light on it? If it does, probably a tunicate or worm, if it doesn't, possibly just a sponge of some sort.
