Glowing Worm?

[bayondai]

The other night when all of my lights went out I noticed something glowing in my reef tank. I made a quicktime movie of it and attached it to this topic, hopefully you can see it. This worm thing was hanging off of my brain coral and it is 1/4" long by about 1 mm wide. Does anyone else have these in their reef? You can't really see anything but the glowing in the video.

Nothing was attached...

It won't let me attach the quicktime movie. How do I do it? I just edited it and now the file is real small.

No one else has ever seen this? I just hope that it is safe for my reef.

The one I had was blue. Some sort of worm that uses the glow for breeding purposes. Julian Sprung wrote about it (briefly) in one of his columns. They don't live very long in the aquarium and they won't hurt anything either. Enjoy it while you can!
