    ...Is just as GROSS!!!

    Hey there everyone! I've got another question for all of you.
    I found this lil critter in my tank this morning and i just wanted everyones opinion. I think it may be a peanut worm. This is what im seeing A four in black worm with Im not sure if they're Segments lines or white stripes.
    Here are two pics of it, sorry for the quality but it scrams back into its hole when theres any light.

    They eat detritus. I've also seen mine eating hair algae (although they aren't supposed to be vegetarians).
