    Hey guys:

    I just fed my fish and noticed this thing moving on my new zoa rock. It has 2 tenticles and they definitely move...slowly. Is it a worm or what? It's coming out of a crevice so I don't know if it's attached to something or not.

    They're translucent... Here are 2 pics.

    I have about 2 dozen of those worms in my tank, and quite a few in my Zoas......im sure they are worms.
