Hey y'all I was wondering about this millipede looking thing wrapped around my purple gorgonia. It's really small. Since I just noticed it I don't remember it being there and the polyps aren't out on the gorgonia. I shined it with a flashlight to see if it was moving and it appears still. It's kinda brown red striped and wrapped around the main branch in the middle of the gorgonia. I don't know if it's good. I am assuming it's a hitch hiker. I seen my first bristle worm today too along with a small sea slug. It's really interesting. Mainly thou I'm kinda worried bout this millepede or worm thing. Any ideas? Or even some suggestions of what to watch out for that can be bad for fish or soft corals thanks again TPF

Welp watever it was I was too scared to leave it. It was hard and very hard to remove with tweezers. Imagine like a rope around the trunk. I had to pinch thru like four layers to get it off in a "C" shape. Didnt squirm or anything either
