    Can you get the pic that you said looked like it? There are so many different types of eunicid's it would take forever to guess what it could be.

    I have one just like that. It has a small little hole inside a live rock and only comes out at night. As soon as light shines on it it goes back in. My guy has white whiskers on his head, is a little grey and somewhat looks like a bristle but almost acts like a tongue if anything. Sticks to the same spot and only goes out maybe an inch and a half.

    Well mine has grown a bit and he just stretched out quite a bit. I was able to get a clear photo for the first time. Looks like a segmented or a bristle worm to me now that it is larger. Attached:
