I’ve heard that when a peanut worm runs out of food in its area it will try to go after a snail or it will eat corals since they eat through rocks to build there new home?

Not true.

I’ve posted this on a hitchhikers id thread and I’ve been told this may be a peanut worm or 2 peanut worms and if it’s not then no one knows what it is. Just as an extra opinion I was wondering what you may think this is and whatever it is how can I remove it from my frag of psammacora that it lives in such as a dip or coral wash maybe?? Here’s a video below. @Crabs McJones

I missed this alert somehow, I agree with @KJ

Hey guys, last night I found some lumps/chunks of sand sticking and upon removing it I saw this creature and some strings within the sand grains.
I will appreciate all comments on this.

Could it be a small peanut worm?

Thanks for a fast comment.
Are the peanut warms hitchhikers?
What about this chunks of sand with strings, is some kind of their nest?
