    So I have taken two of these guys out just this morning. Can someone give me an idea as to what it is and if I should be concerned or not. Thanks

    It's a common bristle worm. They're scavengers and are beneficial.

    They could have been in the chaeto I gave you as we have tons of them in our sump & tank. As noted above they are beneficial...but my wife still despises them!

    They will crawl on coral looking for food/going after it. Can irritate the corals. lol I remove large ones and put them in the sump ;0) Don't touch them with your hands...bristles-ouch!
