I love sneaking up on my reef at night with a flash light
I just saw something I never saw before in the 3 years I had a reef but I cant get a picture of it
its about 1/8 of an inch looks like a worm maybe pinkish in color wiggles around real fast swims real fast and seams to be attracted to light
I saw about 5 of them never seen them before I recently added some more live rock
I cant make out if they have legs they just move around to fast and when not swimming they just wiggle

Palolo worms. It's the reproductive stage of an adult worm.
