Predators of coral.

I saw in my tank a one inch long tan color worm like.But it did not move like the worms as I saw slow and wiggling. It was very fast and darted but stopped for a second before it jumped in the rocks. It was eating on my bubble coral. Is there some where that you have pic's of predators? And how to get it?

It's probably just a bristleworm....You can look around here to see:

Avi,
Do bristleworms jump?
That is why i am asking this moved fast as a shrimp.
but did not look like a shrimp.
I saw the ones in the tank move as a snake that looked as the ones in the link pic's you gave me.

They don't jump as far as I know. You can also take a look at
