Any ideas. 40x magnification. Doesn't move fast, just kind of wriggles. Just curious if anyone knows.
 
That's a polychaete (bristleworm) of some variety. I can't count for sure how many cepahlic tentacles (i.e. tentacles on the head) it has, but I'd guess it's either a Syllid or Eunicid worm.

Regardless, at that small of a size, it's almost certainly harmless/beneficial.

Can you post pic or You tube video? My codec is not opening this
 
Figured it's a bristle worm of some sort. Just found it as I was identifying my dino issue. Thought it was cool.
