the 2nd one looks like a penut worm to me

If it is a penut worm they are totally reef safe ( I have 2-3 of them) they are detritus feeders and will be a good addition to your 'cleanup crew'.

yeah the first one looks like a bristle worm of some type probably totally reef safe, I'll second the peanut worm for the second pic. We'd need a better pic to be sure. HTH

I will positively say that the first one IS a bristleworm. I had one like that scurry across my sandbed on my 25 gal. The second one i'm not sure. Does it have furry white spines on one end?

Regards,
Ilham
