Its hard to tell. It sort of looks like a scaleworm to me. They're good. If you still have it in a container see if you can take a pic of it laying flat.

Beats me, I guess they just do worm stuff I find them all the time on nets and wharf pilings and stuff. They may eat algae, they may eat smaller organisms like copepods and stuff. I have no idea but I was told they were good when I found one in my tank.

Christy

This is the one I had:




From Dr. Ron:

"It appears to be a scale worm - probably in the family Polynoidae, Class Polychaeta, Phylum Annelida.

See another example here

Most of these animals are predatory on small bugs (amphipods, ostracodes) or scavengers. Probably harmless in a reef tank. "
