So I'm pretty familiar with a large number of hitchikers however this is a new one to me. Earthworm like in its fleshy appearance and way of moving. Here's a unzoomed but cropped image where you see it coming out of the rock at the top of the screen heading towards be white sponge.

Here are some other closer up shots of the worm like creature.

It ended up being quite long with a good three inches out of the hole.

It appeared like it may have had little tentacles at the mouth area but when I turned on the light it to see it better it retracted.

Any thoughts?

It's a peanut worm. He's awesome and so are your pictures.

Good guy or bad guy? The kids were totally excited to have found him. :-) Will he harm any of my other tank's citizens or just clean up extra detritus that may be hiding?
