Please ID hitchhikers

[Salty_Creature]

I found a tiny yellow tip claws on my mushroom liverock and i don't know how to take out that hitchhiker. So i put that rock in the running tap water. Finally a worm and a crab come out. Don't know what are they. Do they harm coral and fish? plz help me ID them.

Very sad thing is all mushroom on the rock die... Any1 can share me how to trap them out? i think i got one more Mantis Shrimp to catch.

Sorry to hijack, the worm in the picture, is it very bad for your tank? I think I can get "stings" from these when I sometime move the live rock with bare hands???

Any fishes can eat up these worms, I seem to have loads of these in my live sand.

that is a bristle worm, they are unsightly.....but some fishes do nibble at them, they arre nocturnal .It is almost impossible to rid them if you have live stones and sand bed.go google info on them, alot out there.
