I beleive this is a bristleworm. Just wondering if somebody may happen to know the family, genus or species for these guys. I have a couple of large ones (thickness od a shoelace) in my tank.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
 
It's not Hermodice carunculata so you don't have to worry about your corals. Appears to be the scavenger/detritivore Eurythoe complanta.
