I believe it's a polychete worm of some type, but for species info you'll have to find someone much smarter than I. I'm still miffed Mercedes is Constructer's Champ AGAIN.
 
Right! The Italians have to get it together.
 
Looks like a polychaete worm epitoke - it's a sort of reproductive phase that swims about surprisingly briskly - and it's completely harmless. (Unless it grows up to be a bobbit worm . . . )

It was shooting back and forth in my return section, I don't know how it never went into the pump then I stuck my net in and it went in before I was ready. Crazy!
Thanks for the ID guys!
