I was just looking in my tank & I saw this thng that looked like a worm, it had lots of legs, like a centipede & it was somewhere between 3-4 inches long. Any ideas as to what it might be? Thanks

Bristleworm

Do I need to try & get it out or anything? Will it hurt anything in there?

I'd keep them ...... very good members of the clean up crew, they help clean any waste that may accumulate.

Don't let them touch bare skin....

what happens when they touch bare skin?

they leave thier bristles in your skin. if you do get them, you can use a piece of duct tape to remove them.

thanks you guys, i'm really glad to hear that it won't hurt anything by staying in there.
