I noticed this worm like creature out of the rock the other morning. The underside looks like a yellowish brown color but the top is black. Has centipede legs. Anyway it comes outof the rock (but now all the way) and goes under the sand and to the turbo snail shell (dying). Which by the way I have had 4 die on me in the past 2 weeks. All other fish are fine.. When you turn on the lights it goes back into the hole in rock. Have not seen its head and have tried to catch it with tweeaers. Way to fast. Can you please help me ID and tell me how to get rid of it
 
Do you have a picture?
Think it could be a bristle worm?

Sounds like a bristle worm to me and if so, you don't want to get rid of it. They are opportunistic feeders meaning that if you see it feeding on your snail it's because the snail was already dead. The bristleworm didn't have anything to do with the snail's death. They are a normal and welcomed addition to your CUC.
