Help! Some kind of segmented worm thing? What do I do?

[Delphin22]

I just saw the tail end of some kind of segmented flatish tan colored, thing, with darker short hair like legs on either side, it slithered under a rock!
I think its a worm?
I saw maybe the last inch of it, maybe 1/4 inch wide.
Ive seen some of the captured pic posts here before.
I'll search and read up on them.
However any help would be appreciated.
Should I be worried?

1. Will it eat/harm my fish, shrimp, nudibranch, snails, crabs, or corals?

2.How do I catch it?

Thanks,
Richard

hmmm...OK maybe I'm just a paniced noob that found his first live bristle worm. I'll break out the red led flashlight tonight for some night ops and try and get a better view, maybe a pic to post.
Sounds like it may be good cleaner.
Maybe hes the one who ate my pulsating Xenia?

Yep,
sounds like a Fireworm.
You can find the rock he is in and remove the whole thing out.
Set it out of water and wait.
He will start looking around for a better place.
Thats when you get him.
By the way, dont pick him up with your hands :rolleyes:(use tweezers).
Or,
leave him alone. He will eat left over food, etc.
Wont be your last one Im sure.
