I was looking at one of my new coral frags last night and I noticed something crawling on it. I only caught a quick glimpse of red and white before it retreated back into a hole in the rock. I assumed it was probably another nudibranch and decided to get it out.
I ended up having to smash a piece of the rock off with a hammer to get to it. Turns out it wasn't a nudibranch but a bristleworm. From what I understand they can be a beneficial part of your CUC when they are little but can be problematic when they get larger. It was a bit too small to get a good picture of but I found a pic that looks exactly like it (last pic). I put it in my refugiium.
