Hey guys,

I can't seem to find an ID on this thing. I think he's some kind of worm. His head is at the top going inside that little crevice and he's been doing something with another creature that looks similar to him, only white and with more frilled edges. Please excuse the embarrassing Aptasia. :)

Looks like a bristle (or fire) worm to me. Not sure of the exact ID. Good to have IME. Until they grow over a foot long that is.
 
I was afraid to hear fireworm- I've heard they stun fish. I guess I'll keep an eye on him. He won't be a threat until he gets much better, then?
 
Here's a different picture, if it helps someone get a definite ID on it. Thanks guys.

No worries at all at that size and they are good scavengers to have. If it gets big enough to scare you, then worry. ;)
