Does it move slowly? Looks like a chiton or polyplacophora. Herbivorous.

Yes, it moves very slow. I barely noticed him cuz he kinda blends in with the red coraline. It never strays far from the shroom...always going back underneath it when the lights come on.

looks like a bristle worm. some of them are ok but too many of them is not good.There are some butterfly fish and angels that will help before it becomes a problem.

Are you able to count how many sections make up his body? This will help a great deal in identifying.

It has 8 sections. I guess it's a chiton?

Yep, Chiton. A fun, non-threatening hitch hiker.
