    Hey guys, I just got this candy cane coral a few days ago, and just noticed something on it. What could this be?

    the picture isn't very clear, as my phone's camera didn't seem to want to focus. But it's right under the green head.

    looks like a Sabellidae a type of fan worm, they usually dont last long and are completely harmless
