Pests- help!!

I was just feeding my tank reef plankton when I noticed something unusual on the rock. As a fish swam by the creature retreated into a rock. It is about 3/4 of an inch. It looks exactly like a milipede or whatever you call those critters. It had about ten legs on each side. Also, I am not sure, but I think I have aptasia (if that's what you call it). I noticed, attached to the rock, what appears to be clear tentacles, about 1 inch, swaying with the water flow. What are they?

I think pictures will help your thread tremendously ... if you can get one!

Here is an EXTREMELY valuable website for helping people identify the unknown creatures in the tank!

the first thing millipede looking thing is most likely a bristleworm.

Hi. Thank you both. DCG, I went to the website you suggested. Alex, I too believe it is a bristleworm. I am going to do my research on them now. I guess I won't be putting my hands in the tank anymore without gloves.
