What is this worm???

[Firefish17]

Found this worm at feeding time tonight. Not sure what it is and what to do with it.

Also what is the little white hair looking things on my rock?

Thanks

not sure what the worm is (maybe peanut worm?)

the white hairs could possibly be hydroids.

I thought bristle worms were white. Are they reddish too?

+1 bristleworm. They're usually a pinkish red with little hairs growing all along their body. They're actually a beneficial part of the cleanup crew if you can stand having them in your tank.

You may be right. It's a fuzzy picture but it does look like the worm is missing the bristles.

Picture is not clear enough for an accurate identification.

Looks like a scaleworm called sigalionid and eats detritus but pics quite blurry to confirm

Looks like a peanut worm to me, but like vetteguy said, it's kinda blurry. Does it retract back in the hole kinda like a reverse elephant trunk?
