I was under the impression that peanut worms were a more tan/beige color...

There are more experienced reefers, will wait for them to wake up to get a positive id

Peanut worms have a big, fat, smooth butt. This looks more like a juvenile Oenone fulgida

Can you put it back in a container filled with water and make some pics of it in the container and it should be easier to make an ID

Although apon further reasearch, it seems to definatly be a fulgida worm. Could it have been killing my acan? I dont think its doing too hot.
