Worm identification

Can't identify this one - it's really tiny that's why I took a video to make it more visible. I'm worried by its tentacles by the mouth.

Can't find anything that looks similar to this one. I'm not putting it back as I don't know what it is.

How many "antennae" does it have on its mouth/head end? If it's 5, then it's a Bobbit/Eunice and is predatory.

Looks like 5. Two on the side which seem to be longer and 3 in the middle.

Get rid of it then. When small, they take out some corals and snails; when larger they can actually go after fish (depending upon species, of course).
