I should have taken a picture but i didn't. Wondering if you guys know what it is.

It's long, has a red type vein through it, and it's thin. Doesn't have bristles. When looking closely, the middle redpart moves around. Almost looks like a vein, or a nerve.

Pretty disgusting.


I saw it as I tore down my tank yesterday night

Sandcrab, I googled "aquatic earth worm" and the womrs I found pretty much look like this. Difference is that the red on mine was more vibrant, and maybe thinner (but long).

If it is, is it something I should worry about?
