This bugger was buried in my sand bed. I turn my sand over with a siphon several times a month, usually in zones, and never seen one before. I went digging and found another 4-5 of these guys.


Any ideas?
 
Are there any bristles or hairs along the body or is it smooth? If it's the latter here maybe a Ribbon worm? (just a shot in the dark)

I had a bristleworm explosion a couple months ago but an arrow crab took care of the over population. This is not a bristleworm its not segmented and no obvious mouth/head.

Its smooth bodied tip to tail
 
I don't think it's a spaghetti worm since it's not segmented. I think it's a peanut worm, Aspidosiphon gracillis
