    It's me again, Sorry to be a pain feel like i'm asking to many questions.

    Came home from work today and saw this worm moving from one rock to another, managed to grab my camera before it vanished. I could not say how long it is as it's head was already in the rock before i saw it, but judging by the gap between the rocks and the speed it was going it must be a minimum of 6 inches. Done a web search and the only thing i can find is a ribbon worm, i am planning to keep corals do i need to remove it.

    Thank's lady bobo, It does look like a ribbon worm. I was just making a coffee and there was another one on the glass, Judging by the diameter of this one the other must be quite big. This one is about three inches long, The one that i saw before was at least five times the diameter.

    Do i need to get rid of them?
