On my zoas!!

What is this worm caterpillar looking?!?!!!!!! Is it dangerous to my zoas??

It's a bristle worm, when small they are harmless, good addition to the CUC IMO. I have some and they don't bother me, I leave them till the get decent sized (partly cause they're easier to grab with tweezers) then pull them out. Pretty much boils down to if they bother you or not.

No they won't harm anything, especially when small. Some say that when they get pretty big they can harm things, but I've never experienced that. They scavengers, they eat detritus.
