In my tank that is. 😆 this was after the lights went off and when I hit it with a small UV light it ran under the rock super fast. What is this thing? Pest?

Almost definitely a bristleworm.

I accept they're a part of a healthy ecosystem. And that *eventually* they will make their way into my system, most likely.

I still hate them, and will trap them out any time they get numerous or brave enough to show up when the lights are on.
 
Yes sir, they are in most reef systems and can be ultra-creepy. When moving rocks or frags I will occasionally run into a smaller one. I recently broke a tank down and there were a few monsters in there and I have no idea.

I can’t stand those things either. They all died during my last tank crash and so far I still have no bristleworms. I dip and use my Tomlov religiously.
