I found a red banded trochus baby that is so small I can't even get a good pic. Its 1/16" maybe lol....I'm so excited! My tank is still very new and to see this makes me think I must be doing something right! Haha, he is so cute!
 
It could also be a common hitchhiker -- the name is escaping me right now.

Does it look like these at all? If so, hitchhiker.

Nope, I started my tank w Marco rock, and the only thing in it is a midas blenny and some cuc. Its 100% a red banded trochus baby! Matches my adult ones perfectly!
 
I have one corner of my tank that has literally a few hundred of these little guys come out only at night. It's so many that you can't see through the glass. Amazes me how they know when the lights are about to come on in the morning because 30ish minutes before the lights come on the sink back into the sand.
 
Best I can do w a droid camera...for size reference that bristleworm segment in lower left is about 0.5 inches of a worm.
