Found this worm looking thing growing/burrowing/moving in my coral this evening, it doesn't emit that string like the hard tube worms do, and it absolutely HATES light of any kind. But I managed to sneak up and get this photo. Doesn't seem to be dangerous, but I would love to have a positive ID. Thanks in advance everyone.

my Red Chili coral looks like Swiss cheese from one of these worms ,
there sneaky for almost 2 months I couldn't find anything , this is the only coral in this tank as it wont grow any where else , once I added my red coris wrasse into my predator tank he made short work of them
 
Ok awesome, thanks very much for the assist! From what I gather I only have 1 so it doesn't seem to be a problem... But worse case scenario I'll get the fish that was mentioned. Thanks again!:thanks:
 
If your tank is under 90g I would suggest you not get one as they get large around 18inch , there also not reef safe I have him in my predator tank awaiting a upgrade
along with his tank mates
