Saltwater Earthworm?

[smallville]

I discovered what pretty much looked like an earthworm that you normally find outside in the ground in my saltwater aquarium. Does anyone know anything about what this officially is? Also, is it a good or bad thing to have in a coral and invertebrate only tank?

 

Thanks.

Sounds like a bristleworm...is it pinkish?

[smallville]

That's what I originally thought. But I've seen those before and this one didn't have any bristles. It looked and moved exactly like an earthworm.

Could it be a Eunicid worm?

[smallville]

No. I have a picture of it but I could never figure out how to upload pictures to this forum. But it looks exactly like this, just thinner.

Do you have a photobucket account? If so, you can link to it here.

 

See, it's pictures like this Eunicid (aka bobbit worm) that made me think of it. This picture's from a Kazakh website.

Thanks for the links and the pictures. I need to go through the worm database link again but I think it may be something on there. Meanwhile, here is a pic.

It's elongated and the other end was wrapped around a piece of dead coral and I couldn't unravel him safely.
