Predatory worm ID

[mfollen]

Hey reefers,

Does anyone know what this worm is? I found it coming out of a frag disk. It appears to be a baby, and I’m worried there are many others throughout the reef. Not sure if it’s a dorvidae or Eunice worm…

I’m surprised this got through as I started with dry rock. But one must have came in a frag…

Thanks anyone for any help

Neither Dorvilleidae nor Eunice worms are necessarily bad...

Can you get a picture under white light?

Thanks!

Unfortunately no as the worm has been discarded of.

I’m thinking it may be a Dorvilleidae as the front tentacles go sideways?

Dorvilleides have 4 tentacles and Eunice worms have 5.
