What do I have?
Hi all. I was feeding my fish today and all of a sudden out of the live rock comes what looks like a millipede/centipede creature. I have had my tank set up for about 8 months and this is the first time I have seen this. It crawled out and then went back in. It came out again when I fed my fish this evening. I have corals and fish. Is this something that I should worry about? Thanks for the help.

Its a bristleworm. Probably harmless, but there are a few that are bad.

If it has a small head with bristles it is a bristle worm, a benefit to the tank. If the head looks more formidable and pincered, that is another creature, possibly a Eunicid, which is not good.
