Hairy thing eating and pulling up a shrimp

[ChristinasCoralCabin]

There is something that looks like a ball of moving hair eating a peppermint shrimp. It finished the front half and is quickly working through the tail end. Any idea what it is?

It's easier to tell in the video, but I'm pretty positive it's a spaghetti worm.

I vote spaghetti worm. One of the biggest ones I've ever seen. Really cool. Are you sure it was a whole shrimp or a molt?

There was meat in that tail. It ate for hours. I bought some live rocks that had coral on them and I’ve seen over a dozen different hitchhikers spread out over the tank ever since. We are very new to the saltwater hobby but longtime freshwater aquarium addicts. The reef tank feels like a different planet.

Definitely a spaghetti worm, but doesn't look like a peppermint shrimp?
