why remove it?
+1 remove it or it will multiply fast, if you have zoas they will eat them.
I had to get a Harlequin shrimp to get rid of them cause my tank was infected with them.

Some are zoa eating, some are just scavengers like a bristleworm.
I personally hate them all over my glass and eventually got a harlequin shrimp to remove them. The scavenger versions are harmless, but you can't really tell a difference visually unless you see it in action

Yeah seems like removal may not be necessary but its the safer option. Strange thing is I dont see any others and this guy must have been in my tank for a while because of how big it is...

X2... I have thousands of them and can't keep a harlequin because of all the wrasses I have so I just remove the ones I see on Zoas. Luckily the majority of them are harmless algae grazers.
