Spaghetti worm or something else?

Saw this worm on the glass for the second night in a row. I was unable to take a picture yesterday as he quickly went to the sand and disappeared. Tonight I was able to snap a couple of pictures. It looks like a small spagetti worm, can someone positively ID?

Sorry, picture are not the best.

I thought maybe they could be tiny feather duster worms? https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/small-tube-worms-on-glass.670419/

I'd be a little hesitant on it being a spaghetti worm - based on it's body shape/color. It does seem like a small feather duster, but I'm not sure?

Yes, spaghetti worm. Eupolymnia crasscornis possibly.

Thanks, had a little worm party going on tonight. The bristle worm came out more than usual. I didn't knew he was that big.

Interesting, about the feather duster. The "tentacle on mine are not as long as some of the pictures I seen on other spagetti worm, that's why I asked. I even looked at the medusa but the tentacle on them look way shorter and the body looks different.

They are actually detrious eaters and im surprised to see it high on glass as theyre generally roaming the bottom.

When I first put my live rock in, they scattered everywhere like that until some made their homes within my rock work. Others became a snack for my wrasse lol
