I found this worm today in my live rock. Is it good, bad or indifferent? Water parameters are as follows: PH- 8.4 Ammonia- 0 Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- 15-20. It looks like it has hooks around its mouth. The hook looking objects are white in color.

Is it in a tube or is this a free moving worm?
Not sure on the specific species but more than likley its prob a Polychaete. Which is a common hitchiker, other types of Polychaete's are the common bristle worms. JMO.

It appears to be in a tube or has an outer covering and some kind of teeth or something almost like a human tapeworm by the looks of it's teeth like protrusions. The last pic shows it opening it's mouth the best I could get a pic.
