Found this worm-like critter on my new zoa frag. Made it through dipping and was keeping the zoa from opening fully. At night it would extend. Looked like it has tiny barbs on the tail with a bunch of eyes or eggs near the base.
The second pic is through a microscope at 4x magnification after removing. A076B743-5913-4D61-B840-EE6B55F859F0.jpeg
