Found this thing blowing around in my tank after a water change while lights out. Anybody know what it is? Didn't look like a bristleworm.

it looks to be the reproductive form of a polychaete worm, known as an epitoke, i would not be concerned, let it swim and enjoy its short lifespan. the main body of the worm lives somewhere else in the tank.

Yeah it had white stuff coming from behind it.
