Tagging along, looks interesting. Like some kind of gnarly worm. Hard to tell cuz only head is visible. Do you see it spitting out webs? If so that may be a massive vermatid snail.

Also can't tell if thats tentacles or pincers - are they soft or hard? If pincers then might be some kind of bobbit worm.

I dont know if they are soft or hard. Looked soft. I went to clean the glass for a better picture and video and it went back in the rock. The video shows it with kinda a tail like a snake or worm.

Looks like some type of Eunicid or related genus of worm. Many different species and many different sizes (1/2" up to 10'), some harmless detrtivores, some omnivores and others are strict carnivores. I have a small one that hasn't caused any trouble. Just keep an eye on and if you notice any coral damage, you may have to remove it.
