Can you get pictures? Because there are A LOT of species of fan worms in our tanks, and often they are confused for juveniles of larger one's. I would be super surprised if these are actually juveniles of the coco worm. Smaller worms are very common and very similar.

I am working new on a nice camera that can get me nice pictures.
Regarding the baby coco warm, it looks same like the " mother" they have to " heads" like the mother, so walk like a duck, talk like a duck,,,,,.
the moment that i will have pictures i will post it.

i agree. just today i noticed a tiny red feather duster in my rock work. never seen him before. its possible its just a red feather duster. i too would be suprised if it was actually a baby cocoa worm.

I would not use the "walk like a duck" philosophy. There are hundreds of species of worms, many which are superficially similar. The same thing happens with brittlestars - there are many common tiny hitch hikers, but many people assume they are juveniles of a larger one they have.
In reality, it is very unlikely that these animals will reproduce successfully in our tanks.
