Default WORM!!!!!!

While looking into my tank tonight under moonlight, I noticed a weird thingy popping out of a hole in the rock. It has a smooth skin and the mouth seems to be like a sucker and it was just scanning the side rocks. No ugly mouth that's for sure. I tried to grab it with a tweezers, but like I guessed, was too slippery and got back inside the hole. I am waiting for it to come out to look at it more closely.

There are corals around and my chormis sleeps around that hole. So I am guessing its not a coral muncher or fish eater (bobit worm out from the list?). Any one got any idea? The mouth is like a leach (no teeth or face or visible).

Awesome. Thanks for confirming the ID. That's a huge relief I was literally getting ready to nuke that hole.
