Another Creature ID

I've recently noticed a creature on my live rock. It seems to be
nocturnal
and sort of looks like a leach. It has browish and white stripes. He
crawls for cover when the lights come on. Any ideas on what this is? Is
it
harmful? Should I get it out of my tank next time I see it?

Thanks!

Maddie

If it's orange and red, and looks like it has bristles, it's probably a
bristle worm.

Good detrivore, cleans up bottom of tank.

Not a pest unless you get too many, and that's usually from overfeeding.

Large ones will munch on corals, but otherwise they're great to have
around.

Thanks guys. It doesn't have bristles though. It's smooth and a lot wider
than a worm. Any other ideas?

Thanks again.
