Spaghetti worm?

[N2theUnknown]

I believe this is a spaghetti worm just curious. I sucked it up with a turkey baster and got it in a cup. It's about a 1.5" long.

Yes- Spaghetti
Part of the medusa family, Spaghetti worms do not generally leave their tube or crevices and arestationery – they belong to the group of polychaetes called sedentary worms. The hidden body of the worm is 5 to 6 inch long . They use their spaghetti tube to capture food

Yes- Spaghetti

Just for future knowledge is there anything that can be confused for a spaghetti worm? And from what I've already read spaghetti worms are good. Won't cause any ill effects to fish or corals? Thanks for the quick reply

the spionid worms usually settle in the substrate and use that one to build them tubes, have only 2 thicker tentacles and you can see them floating around catching food, and they use them go rid of the waste or small sand bits.
