weird worm...

i was looking at the pico tank that i set up about a month or so ago, and i noticed something that looked like an anemone at first in a cave i made. upon further inspection, the little guy (about 1 and a half inches) shot his head back into the underside of the rock. my g/f and room mate spent about an hour watching the cave to see if we could get a better look at him. it did come out further but the most i saw of him was a long worm like body, two antenea and little centipede like legs in his mid-section. i cant figure out what the heck this thing is... hes not a peanut worm or any bristle that i have ever seen. the thing that scares me is that i just added the rock from my 15g and if it is bad critter then that means i most likley have a problem in the main tank. also i turn the light on and the thing bolted... any help would be great!;D

 

Heh Monkey you can get a better look by night viewing using red lighting !

 

see thats what i was thinking for tonight... but i dont know i got a pretty good look at it. it looks to be the same as the description. im going to see, but if anyone has any good suggestions as to what the heck this thing may be it would help me out alot!

 

i found out what it is... a bobbit worm.
