that tank is over a year old but thanks for the concern
 
I've gotten plenty of hitch hiker urchins over the years, and they've all done pretty well. I'm not convinced this one is a pencil, but if so, they are not reef safe and like softies. Better off in the sump maybe.
Hard to make out the worm, but could be a bristle worm. No worries if so.
