help help help strange worm

what the heck is it? i was moving stuff around in my reef and found this. should i put it back or keep it out?

 

another pic of worm

 

From the color of the segments it looks just like the ones that stretch out of my rock after the lights go out. Mine have those different colored segments like yours but I have never seen one come completely out of its hole to see the end. I would toss it just to be safe.

Looks too big for a peanut worm.

How big is it roughly?

 

looks like 1 inch or 1 1/2 inches seems to strech to almost 3 to 4 inches

 

here are better pics of it. maybe its an alien from another planet.

 

so should i flush it?

Looks like it may just be a common peanut worm

Nice article Jason. I thought it resembled a flatworm. There are so many different species of life.
I would have flushed it too. No since in taking too big of a chance.
