Hello,
I found this "wormish" looking creature under a cyphastrea when I removed it from the plug. It's kind of stuck within the glue from the frag plug.
Does anyone know what this could be?
The ssecond video is after it freed itself from the glue. It's pretty long, orange with blue stripe on the tentacules.

spaghetti or hair worm, harmless detritus/filter feeder
Thank you dedragon, yes you are right, it's a hair worm (Cirratulids). I found this site and it looks like the first picture. I am going to check how big it gets to see if I want it back in the tank... It does look a little creepy but hey, biodiversity...
Thanks again!
