Swimming worm ID

[monti mike]

Hey everyone! What is this this guy? And is it a baddie? Found it swimming in the tank - it kind of swims like a snake. It seems to be on a mission and has a face. I read other posts about epitoke (sp?) and it sounds like they’re harmless. I hope that’s what this is? Thoughts??

I think it may be an Epitoke. I checked back on the nasty and there’s tiny eggs in the cup now.

It looks like an epitoke of a polychaete species.
From the description, it probably has undergone epigamy and won't revert to an atoke, so it will die shortly after reproducing. So, it's most likely harmless.
