please identify
So I go to see what my corals do at night and found an odd "arm" working around under the coral. The end of it looks like a xenia polyp with a hand like feature. it is very mobile and and retract completely. Mainly I want to know if this critter is harmful. I'm not sure I posted this in the correct forum and please forgive my rudimentary terminology as I don't know all the proper names for "critter" anatomy in a reef tank.

Is it possible it's a hydra?? I saw it move from one rock hold to another. One end is hand like. The other end is rounded. I've seen two in there so I'm sure there are many more. I'm guessing they rode in with live brine... Possibly. Have bought several corals too

Could be a spoon worm. Regardless, it's a harmless detrivore.

I just looked that up and yes it looks like a peanut worm. Only difference is that mine seem uniformly pink/light brown. Not dark
