Quick worm ID please

Trying to figure out what this is because I'm getting ready to leave town. Got the coral at a drag swap today and I don't think there are any specific goniopora predators.

Yeah, sorry. The upload failed and I decided to pull it.

Segmented and had legs, almost like a centipede. Really fast. Unfortunately it was cut in half getting it off of there so if it is harmless, I killed it for no reason. Legs looked blue on the white background but that could have been my eyes or the kitchen kights. About three inches long overall.

Unlike a centipede though, it could retract like an earthworm.

It was Identified as a goniopora worm. Hoping it was the only one.

Yes, it's a species of syllid.

Thanks Sugar. Do you know if it is an obligate goniopora eater like montipora nudibranchs are, or will they eat anything. It was the only one I saw and I got it out. I am worried there may be more. I have a 4” dusky wrasse (Halichoeres marginitus) who will hopefully pick off any more or any babies.
