What is this worm!

[marrav88]

After my last problem with my green goniopora, I want to make sure this new baby Taro Tree coral is safe from a worm I have in the tank. it's grey and about 3 to 4 inches long
. it had become attached to the coral over the past couple days. im guessing it's eating food off the coral but I want to make sure it doesn't harm it. I'll pay some picts of it. please help me identify and give me some kind of resolution. thank you.

is it a bristle, or another that may harm my coral

I don't believe it is a bristle worm, but I don't know what kind it is. I've never seen one like that before. I'm sure somebody here will be able to ID it.

I agree with Ron, it's not a bristle worm. I too have no clue what kind of worm it is. I do know if I saw it in my tank I would try the bottle trap and get it out of there.

Have you seen what the head looks like? A picture of the head might be helpful.

its a ribbon worm... Google it to find more information about them..

I'm not really sure what kind of worm that is either, but I don't think it's a Ribbon worm. Ribbon worms are smooth, the one in the picture almost looks segmented.

Iv checked the site mentioned above to try and identify it to no avail
I'll try and text my lfs manager.

It can live safely in your sump while you try to id it. Ask in the inverts forum.
