sand sifting cucumber.

[lietz06]

I ordered a shipment of inverts from saltwaterfish.com and I got my sand sifting cucumber with this worm/parasite looking thing in the bag. its about as long as my middle finger and grey it looks scary and it looks like it might have been chowing down on my cucumber. there's all this floaty white stuff in the bag. the worm thing is the only thing moving around in there. any ideas if this sea cucumber is dead or what the worm is.
