Worm in Chaeto, 4" bobbitt maybe

[socalnano24]

Cranberry! I was pulling chaeto out of my nano sump and found a worm that has antenna coming out of its face...
I'm working on getting him out so I can take a picture.....
Updates to come

Ok so its more like a 7 or 8 inch bobbit worm when fully extended.
Here's the youtube link

he's got the antenna looking spines on his face, but its hard to tell in the pictures. That and the sides of the tuperware aren't really clear....
Cranberry, any interest?

I was under the impression that bristle worms are relatively flat. This guys is more round. Any other opinions?

 

[socalnano24]

Oh well he's going down the toilet tonight. Definitley not a bristle worm.

what do you mean definently not a bristle worm, also bristle worms are benificial detrivores
