I have looked on here and other resources but I cannot identify this worm. There are a few in my tank. They don't seem to bother anything else so far. They definitely move around on their own. I don't see any "bristles". They look smooth and pink.

Perhaps the tentacle of one of these??

Can you get a closer pic of the base of the critter? I am trying to see if there is a hard tube it is coming out of. Also have you noticed any tentacles coming off of it? My first guess would be a spaghetti worm since the ones I have are pink to light red in color, but I don't see the tentacles, hence why I was hoping for more pics. Especially at the bottom of the thing, since I am not sure if it is my eyes playing tricks on me, but I thought I noticed a tube at the bottom of the pic. Could just be a piece of debris though.
There are no tentacles, or base. They are "just" worms. I have about 6 (that I've seen) of them in the tank of various lengths. They have been in there for about a month now, and don't seem to bother anything. They mostly stick to the sand bed, but they also crawl over the rocks. They look like the tentacles of spaghetti worms without the "body". I have seen the full worm on rock work so I know there is no bigger body hidden somewhere. I pulled a few out, and they look like super skinny earth worms out of the water.
