Opaque white-ish hair-thin worm?

[SaltyFlip]

Hey guys, I just saw 2 or 3 of these worms; they're Opaque white and hair-thin so it's hard to capture them on camera - also they seem to be around 1 inch in length (can't really tell because half their bodies are hidden). I've found 2 chilling by my neon GSP and 1 in my sand.

params are currently:
ammonia, nitrite, nitrate: 0 0 0
pH: 8.2
Temp: 77
SG: 1.022 or around 29-30 ppm

I searched the web and it might be planaria but it's supposedly only in freshwater and the google images don't look like the worms I have. I haven't overfed my fish in a long time (prob a year or more, I always sit in front of the tank and feed them with the circulation off). I know without an image it's hard to ID and all but anyone have a similar thing or heard of it?

Thanks in advanced!

Sounds like a Peanut worm.

it could be a spaghetti worm but without a pic its hard to tell u if its for sure. Google a pic. Its body is usually hidden in the sand or liverock with white tentacles that come out searching for food .

It looks like the tentacles of a Spaghetti worm but it's no more than 2 tentacles in my tank; and there's no body like the spaghetti worm. I'm trying my darnest to take a pic but I can't find one right now, they seem to have hidden.

spionid worm

it is probably just fine. Post a pic when you can take one or find one on line, but relax, it's probably a detritus-eating hitchhiker.

It is a Hair Worm - technically Cirratulidae..fairly similiar (from what you can see) to a Spaghetti worm, except there are only 2 tentacles, not a bunch as in a spaghetti worm.

Here is a good article describing the differences bewteen the 2 worms

I'd like to apologize for the crap quality because these are taken from my phone. As you can see the organism in question is within the GSP rock and has covered itself with sand; The two tentacles (?) feel out for food and such. I have a video but you barely see it because the phone wouldn't do macro video so I decided not to post it.

Also, here's a snail that died, left him there for my peppermints and hermit to dine on; does anyone know why my sand have those bubbles? could it be an anaerobic reaction thing?
