Default Help ID this critter

Can anyone shed some light as to what this worm like critter is?
Should I pull it out of the frag that i just purchased or is it coral safe?

Looks like a mini brittle star's arm. A good hitchiker. Leave it there.

It looks like the leg of a baby banded brittle starfish. They are reef-safe to a certain extent. Some very large ones will take out small fish. It will take years for it to get that big though.

Thanks guys.
I tossed that leg into the tank, so if I see a star later I will know that was it for sure.
