I caught it with my target feeder and broke him in half in the process but it has a flat head with a pointy tail. I have very few bristle worms but have seen many of them over the years doing the hobby but I have never seen one like this, this is the best photo I could get.

That look like a shed arthropod shell to me. I have never seen a bobbit worm in person, but in footage they look like a worm with the predator face from the movies. I think on one of the netflix nature shows there was footage of one. It formed a little pit that attracted fish to eat and was much bigger than that. Of course, I am sure they start small.
