Unknown night critters?

[big]

Well I have been seeing these on "night inspections" for a while now.
Some kind of flexable worm that retracts completly back into the LR as soon as a light hits it. This is a flash shot after lights out. There are quite a few of them. Anywhere from 1/2 inch to 2 inches or so long. Very thin and little color grayish very thin tubes. Never see any of them when the lights are on. Sorry not the best picture.......... What the heck are these little guys called???Warren

Daaa, didn't even see the Brittle's arm till looking again.

Thanls Mike, grey skinny peanuts instead or the brown fatter ones color in pictures?

as they stretch out the get a grey color to them and as they grow fatter the get the brownish color to them.

And to me, they look like spaghetti worms. Which usually have 2 or so sweeper arms just like the ones in the picture. I have several in my sand and in my rocks.

Remind me of my peanut worm.Except mine kinda has rings of color.

I have bristleworms and spaghetti worms, and this is thicker than the spaghets, and this looks nothing like a bristleworm.
