some type of worm or cucumber?

I moved a piece of liverock and this critter was behind it... it is fairly hard to the touch, and the "tentacle" for lack of a better term telescopes in and out...
the body is tan with light vertical stripes .. the "tentacle" has tiger stripes on one side...
sorry for the quality of the pics...

the tank it was in has been set up for almost a year...

Lol.. just found out he's a peanut worm!...

Yep, its a peanut worm. But I have never seen one totally out of the rock like that, I've only seen the tiger-striped trunk sticking out of a little hole in the rocks. Interesting.

well.. I moved his rock.. I assumed he was behind it.. could have been under it though...

Well, at least now I can see how it got the name "peanut worm".
I always thought it was a strange reference, but it makes sense now.

They are really rather cool to watch poking around for food. I have several in my rocks.
