Was just doing the usually stare down of the tank and this thing kept pokings its head out of the like rock it looks like a worm with furry arms comming out of the side or something real small hope the pics help
 
Hard to tell but I think it looks like a Bristle Worm to me. I have many of them in my tanks.
 
Yup, your garden variety bristle worm. No worries IMO, will help clean up the place.
 
If you plan on keeping corals, some (SOME) bristleworms will snack upon corals. Selectively remove only the one's that you catch snacking on your corals becuase the others are beneficial scavengers.
