It was in my substrate. Sticky little guy.

What size is this worm? About 0.5-1mm diameter, could be less? If so, I had what seemed to be an entire colony of these things that would migrate about the tank every few nights. They would come up the side of the glass and it looked like some kind of spidery growth. But if you got close enough you could see hundreds of these worms moving together. I asked about it on Nano Reef and no one could figure it out. I left them alone and never observed any negative reactions from them. Eventually they stopped migrating or died. I tore down that tank when I moved, but didn't see them in the grow out tub I kept the live rock and corals in.
I wonder if it's these.

Yep, looks very similar if not exactly like that, but imagine the main paths are a half inch wide. And hundreds if not thousands of the worms. If I can find a picture, I'll post it. They only really travelled at night though. And created an enormous amount of mucous.

This guy was just a little loner that tried to outrun me. He was maybe about a cm.

I didn't take the video with their included thingy, but held my iPhone up to the eye piece. The video sucks with theirs and I hate that it takes up one side. If I were to get another, I would get a trinocular with an iPhone attachment.

Am scope has a digital attachment I use for I'd and it goes in the eye piece and hooks up to the computer. Pretty neat and I remember it being fairly affordable.
Nice little roundworm there! I think everyone should throw some sand and detritus from their tank under a scope. Very cool stuff you can't easily see with the naked eye. Whole 'nother world in our tanks.

I'm actually making an adapter for my iPhone using an extra eyepiece. I have an old phone and I am attaching the eyepiece to the phone case. A 3mp camera is nice, but with an iPhone it's pure awesomeness.
