Flower Pot Coral hitchhicker!!!

[ddstar]

Hi guys,...I know that I don't post much but usually don't need to. Everyone else has such awesome q's and that helps me enough. However I find myself at wits end trying to figure out what kind of hitchhicker I have. I bought a good sized beauty of a flowerpot coral (goniopora) from my most trudted store. Seems that the coral has a worm. (So it seems theirs does also) they are as stumped at this point as I am as to what type of worm it is. I wish I could get you a photo but I can't seem to get a decent one. It has stayed with the coral not moving to others. It is very long like 10" when fully extended. It is has a smooth surface. It is not in the pocket expert guide on marine inverts. It is segmented in the way that it looks like a beaded anemone but of course isn't. It also gets very unhappy when the flowers retract as it seems more content in staying hidden within it. I guess it looks like a long slender nightcrawler worm that has been crossed with a beaded anemone. LOL Anyhoo,....any thoughts on what it might would be wunderbar!!!

Danke,

Ciao

i could think of a few different things that it could be.
it could be a large beneficial bristle worm, or it could be a harmful one
or, god forbid, it is a eunicid worm
do you happen to have a picture of it?
