growing worm

[YumSaltWater]

i found a little worm in my tank that crawls around on the glass (at first i thought my cuttlefish lost a tentacle!) but it is definitely a little white worm with two little feeler things poking out of the head. Sorry no pictures he is a pretty tiny lil guy.

any guesses?

Stomtella snail, nudibranch? Hard to say based on the vague description and without seeing it.

without a photo of course it is impossible to know for sure but a good guess would be a terebellid worm (spaghetti worm). Does it look anything like this...

this is a spaghetti worm from my former tank as it was crawling on the glass.

Without a good, detailed photo there are just too many choices to guess at. As such, might the photos I provide within my hitch hiker pages (worm section) help you narrow it down to a family group.

That is Cirratulid hair worm not a spaghetti worm
