    Looks like possibly some type of polychaete worm to me, hard to tell though. There are a huge number of them. There is a good sticky thread with some good ID links. It's kind of hard to tell because the pic is a little blurry but it looks like there are some type of anttenae on it?

    Sorry the picture is too dark or blurry for me to get a good idea of what it looks like.
    Maybe try scrolling through here?
