Is he a ribbon worm? See what others think...

LOL, Joe...

Not sure what it is, but I'd keep him separated until you find out for sure. Something with a pointed face sounds like it could be harmful. Maybe not though, it could be pointed for chiseling holes into rocks. *shrug*

Could be a ribbon worm, but I'm thinking what is commonly called a blood worm or a Glycerid.

searching images ^ here the nearest one I could find (Glycerid worm) I am good at google ... but many of our members have marine biology degrees, I learn from them all the time...

Thanks for the input, Looking at the images attached compared to the actual worm, it seems quite different. The face almost has a beak, and it swims like an eel. I cant say I've seen a worm swim in the same manner. I have removed it from the DT and put it into the fuge atm....
