very small worm on zoas

[saltygeek]

I checked coralpedia but this wasnt on the predator/irritator list.
Its a very small approx. 1/8" black worm the diameter of a hair. The polyp closes when they are on it. It seems like they are just meandering around on the polyp and mat between and irritating them. They may just be eating detritus or something but I did think I saw one go into the flesh of a zoa stalk. Not sure if it had a tube there or something. After they pass the zoas open back up fine. Has anyone seen them before?

Yeah I just noticed one today on my eagle eyes. Didn't have time to do anything about it since I had to leave for work but I will be watching closely tomorrow. They have been closed for the last week or so for the most part and I haven't been able to figure it out but I think I might have today, still no idea what they are though sorry. Goodluck
