    Not very clear but looks like a bristle worm.

    I have a FOWLR w/2 clown fish and a few blue leg hermits... Have a CUC coming in a day or two...

    Should I take the worm out?

    Will it hurt any of the fish or CUC?

    Bristleworms are a good part of your CUC. They are creepy, but beneficial!
