It's a bristle worm. I answered you in the other thread as well. Throw it out!

i found a bristle worm today is like 1" is good or bad and found pieces of one blue leg hermit .

All the pictures are a little blurry or show the animal out of water, but that looks like a common detritus-eating fireworm-bristleworm. They are quite helpful in tank cleanup, if my id is correct.

This article discusses bristleworms in general:

yep... looks like a bristle worm to me, put him in your refugium if you have one, if not then leave it in your tank, they are reef safe as mentioned above.

josetexe the piece of crab you found was most likely a piece of the exoskeleton from the crab molting.
