    I looked at this pic yesterday---could it be two worms? It looks as if there are two heads in the middle. Of course my eyesight isn't what it used to be.

    actually... my gf figured out what it is. I dont remember what its called exactly, Ill ask her, but i read that is harmless. It has symbiotic relationship with bacteria; where the worm actually ONLY provides a shelter for the bacteria. The bacteria provide the worm with its energy and nutrients and provides a means for expelling wastes.
