    Sounds like some kind of spahgetti worm but the ones I have have white "tenticles" I know some peanut worms are striped. A pic would be helpful :)

    Agreed! I have sssoooooo many of them! LOL I see them all the time catching tray pieces of left over food and pulling them in! Very cool to watch! There is another kind of worm that resembles the spaghetti worm but it doesn't have as many tenticles, only about 2... I just can't remember the name of them... I have a bunch of those too!
