Weird Worm Thing

Ok, I attached my halide light and I have turned it on. I have a brown worm that wriggles erratically in my tank right now. What is this thing. I was reading identification of worms and I am seeing that it could be a possible juvenile ribbon worm. Any thoughts on this?

:shock:
 
See if you can open this up.

It is not a bristle worm or flatworm. This thing looks like a ribbon and twirls around in the water. After it twirls it goes to the live rock and crawls around int the holes and etc.
 
I have those in my rock. they are small peanut worms. Nothing to worry about. If you don't like them there are fish that eat them. I cant remember which ones though.
 
Tetra1 - I did a yahoo image search for Nemertean (ribbon worm) and it pulls up quite a few varieties. Not sure if that'll help you ID the thing...
