Can anyone tell me what this is please?

Bristleworm. They are pretty good scavengers. Harmless in your tank unless the numbers get out of hand. That seems like a fairly large one though.

Agreed, polycheate (poly-keet) worm or bristle worm. Totally harmless, I only remove the really big ones.

Bristle worm. Some wrasse will eat them and so will the odd Arrow Crab.

There are horror stories about folks finding really big ones. Do a google search on "large bristle worm"... yikes

Not too sure many people have heard but the coral banded shrimp and royal gramma will team up and hunt them together as a team. The red coris wrasse is also a BW hunter although they will move everything not glued down searching for them.
