A bristle worm.. a big one.. lol

 

Some people don't like them, I haven't had any issues with mine and I have one the same size, they come out when i feed and grab a pellet. They also eat dead snails for me, so I think they're good.

Also help stir up the sandbed. They're beneficial, and for sure that isn't the only one you have in there. There are probably thousands lol.

If you don't want it, send it to me, I'd love to have it.

Normal bristle worm, specifically a fire worm. So, avoid touching it because the bristles sting.

Excellent detritus cleaner if it's the right species. There are dozens, carnivorous, herbivorous, detritivores, etc.

 

I had this awesome macro algae on a poly rock that was rapidly disappearing. Late one night, to my surprise, I found a large bristle worm eating eat.
