I was doing some husbandry and been finding these things underneath the frag plugs and not sure if they are good or bad, anyone?

Tentacles on the head lead me towards predatory hard to see other features in the photo though.

Thanks for all the comments guys. While cleaning off frag plugs I found another and tried to get even better macro shots. They don’t appear to be on any corals but rather just hanging out on the plug surface. How are these pics to maybe better identify?

Perhaps a Polychaete Dorvilleidae bristleworm:

https://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhikers-guide/ , specifically: https://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhikers-guide/polychaete-dorvilleidae/

You'd need to find some other larger, clearer pics to confirm, but, if so, a good (herbivore) hitchhiker.

The only thing that doesn’t resemble the reference pic is that mine has colors and the reference photo is solid; otherwise is looks identical. What sort of better photo are you looking for and I will try to take it
