Worm ID

[exosket]

Found it while inspecting a frag before putting it in my tank. Long yellow/orange with red eyes and white rectangular area on its head. Moves like a millipede would. Not like any other bristle worm i've ever seen. Maybe about 4 inches long. Pic taken with a phone- sorry for the quality. What do you guys think?

And btw looks pretty

Looks like that one. Never found out whether it did harm to the tank.
