I found it on my glass and it swims vigorously and looks to have 2 pinchers or something to grab with. It would release from the glass and then swim back to reattach to the glass. I pulled it out and put it in a cup lol

In the video it swims up towards the top of the cup and I get a pretty good shot of it...for a second hahah

I hope this video works ;)

Hi! Video not working for me... can you make a screenshot at the point where the creature is visible in the video?

Sounds like it could be a bobbit worm to me, which would be bad news. Would be great you have been able to remove it from your tank tho. Of course I have not seen the creature yet, so I could be completely mistaken...

It does look a bit like a Eunice, the pick isn’t clear enough to see the head. It also could be a medusa. A better pic would help
 
How did my ex girlfriend get in your tank? You’ll want to use hot water w bleach, aim for the eyes or gill plate. She’s gonna reach for your wallet so keep an eye out. If the bleach doesn’t do the trick, just offer her a job. Good luck my friend, god speed...
 
So I really think this is a Eunice (bobbit worm). Good thing you have removed that from your system... they are known to grow u der the radar untill they are big enough and will start to eat your fish during the night. Try to look if there are more in your system and remove them ASAP.
 
Ok thanks guys!!

I have looked and cand find any more here are the best pics I got.
