    Thanks for the info guys.

    I removed the Nudibranch.

    My only tought is: You can see the worm always right where the flesh of the coal is being eatin away, as you can see in the picuture. So i am not sure is the worm bad and eating the coral or was it the Nudibranch who was under the rock not even close the coral?

    ^HA! I sucked him out last night, will flush him tonight. I will pick up some Coral RX and dip the coral to be on the safe side.

    So everyones thoughts are the worm is reef safe and actually good?

    If it's a sipunculid it is, and it looks like one. Sure is in a classic guilt-by-association position, though.
