Ok definitely worms. But what kind?
Here?s a video taken through a 10x jewelers loupe and a pic taken next to a pencil to show size.

Obviously not the algae I haven?t scraped in a while. But I?m guessing these are some type of worms. Good? Bad? These pictures are about 2 minutes apart from each other so whatever they are, they are moving! Last pic is taken through a 10x jewelers loupe.

Hmm I wonder if that?s why my hammer coral hasn?t been fully extending lately. There is one on the base of its frag cut.
Wow, actually now that I look closely there is a super thing stringy web coming up from this one and touching the side of the coral.

Any idea what these are? There are two growing at the bad of corals and one growing on my live rock. They are tube like growth that are coiled. I was thinking tube worms, but I don?t see any signs of life in them. But they are continuing to grow.

I?m still new with saltwater so I?m constantly questioning and researching every little thing I find. I have a 10 gallon nano reef and love it so far.

I?m kind of leaning the same way. I?ve already gotten rid of a bunch of asterina stars. I didn?t feel a need to keep them.

He came back out of hiding and I was able to get him. I took pictures with my phone and a 10x jewelers loupe. Looks like an urchin to me. Anyone know what kind? Are they good/bad?

I didn?t notice it left the hole and it is now gone. So now it?s a wait and see game. I?m leaning towards a pencil urchin. But I will update in the future when I find it, if anyone is interested. Thanks for all your help!

My lights are out for the night. I?m waiting for it to move out of the hole so I can catch it. The rocks are from Pets Warehouse, but I don?t know their ocean origin. I never asked. But I will see if they know and also see if they could identify this creature.

Oh it?s definitely moving around. This morning it was on the other side of the rock and eventually went back into the hole it like sitting in. Watch my video I posted. You can see it move into the hole.

I just tried picking it out of its little hole and it seems to have kinda wedged itself in and the spines are definitely harder, rather than fleshy. So now I?m really now sure. I?ll try and catch it later when it comes out of the hole. If I can?t I will chip that part of rock off.
Edit:
I?ll...
Hmm you may have nailed it. It does look very similar to pics I searched. Also I noticed it has some type of tentacles them at are extremely hard to see, but you can kinda make them out in the video I posted. I can?t see an urchin have those. But will can an anemone move that fast?
