Yep common place. My sargasum trigger use to think they were scoobie snacks, couldn't wait for my to move rocks and expose the little guys.

Sorry I'm so late to the game, but I love polychaete IDs and couldn't help myself. The large fatty in the center looks like it could be a member of hermodice carunculata, which are predatory of certain corals and give a very nasty "sting". I say that based on the appearance of the chaetae/setae i.e. Bristles. While the vast vast majority of "bristle worms" are beneficial, these nasties do sometimes find their way into tanks. I would be watchful at night and see if you find it preying on any sps or gorgonians.
