So this guy has been around for a while. Don't know what or who he is. His body in about a centimeter long. Any ideas?

I want to say it's either a Terebellid or Cirratulid worm, but for some reason I don't think that's correct. Does it ever move around on the glass or does it stay put? If it's the latter, maybe a Hydroid of some sort?

spaghetti worm! (good guy)
The spaghetti worms I have never go on the glass and they're more of an orange color. Maybe I've just got a different kind.
 
Every time I've seen him he's on the glass and he's got about 10 to 12 legs about 1 to 1.5 times the size of his body.
 
Mike is right, it's absolutely a spaghetti. Sometimes it's difficult to tell if it's a hair or a spaghetti, but this is indeed a spaghetti.

They can still be red if they are spaghetti's but maybe you had a hair worm.
