Worm in my zoanthids?

[Evansimp]

I just took out my zoas for a 3rd time and went through with tweezers trying to get this worm thats been under my zoas for a while now! Think I finally got all of it! Anyone know what it is? It's the orange thing

I don't think that's it! This thing had multiple tentacles, and is all brown!

Are they small bristle worms? I found an old post about them on this forum...

If it is they can eat the dead zoa tissue, but I don't think they will necessarily harm the zoas.

Maybe, I've been looking to Id them, but I can't find anything. Anyways, I think I got them all out. They were spreading and I don't want those things in my corals haha! I don't know what they are, but they bug me! (no pun intended) thanks for the help guys!

So far that forum has been the closest to what I have seen in my tank! Thanks

Yeah, np. Why don't you dip your corals? Or do you and these guys survived?

Dip corals? I don't know what that is?

Looks like bristle worms to me. I dip my corals for 10-15 min in disinfectant and then dip in Revive for another 10-15 min.

It's a blend of natural extracts to kill certain pests. I've dipped a piece of LR with corals on it and some feather dusters and sponges didn't die so I suppose it targets the nudibranchs and other malevolent coral killers. Good to have for some prevention and potentially saving coral!
