Hi everyone. I'm very new to reef keeping and I purchased live rock about a week ago. There are two large living things that I found on the rock so far. One I stumbled across online and found out what it was that way. The other I don't know yet though. I believe it's a coral but again, I'm very new to the hobby. I'm looking for any and all information available please! Like the name, light requirements, food requirements, and if and how I can move it! Because right now it's on the side where it is difficult to see. Thanks everyone!

All I see is a Feather Duster Worm, they are filter feeders & attach themselves to the rocks, they don't require light to live.

And they are perfectly safe and cool to boot
