    I dont see any worm in the picture with the anemone except a mushroom and the second pic is a feather duster. Both are good!

    It's hard to tell from the pic, but it's probably Actinodiscus sp. based on the radial lines, but it could be Discosoma sp.. Either way, it's safe...Can you get a better pic?

    After doing a bit of reasearch... You are right, I believe it is the Discosoma, still cant figure out the feather duster tho.
