Saw this in my sand bed and took a photo. This is with a Macro lens, the magnification, I do not know— does anyone know what kind of worm it is? You can see the main body on the left side, followed by this long tube. Is this a parasite attached to a Bristle worm, or just a single organism? I apologize if it’s hard to see. I did take a video, and can try to upload that to YouTube if that would help

I have those too-I don't think they're bristle worms. for me, they're harmless and just stay in their little burrow in the sand. they don't seem to bother anything so I just leave them. hope that helps.

Awesome! Figured it was just another harmless inhabitant, just wanted to make sure it posed no threat to the fish or corals :)

I’ve got tons of these dudes. They’re like earthworms kinda. I don’t think they hurt anything and they make some pretty cool tunnels in my sand next to the glass.
