Can anyone make out what these are? I do have bristle worms so i thought they may be baby ones but they don't look exactly right.

 
That is not a common bristleworm. Does it look like this close up?:

If so, you have a syllidae worm from the subfamily Eusyllainae. Some are parasitic to other inverts and some are predators of other worm species.

interesting...I wonder if thats what happened to all my snails. it does kinda look like that up close. thanks!
