Any Idea What This Is?

[BeakerBob]

I found this stuck to my power head intake today. Scared me...I thought it was a fish bladder from a dead fish! Anyway, it is about 2" in length, almost 1/2" in diameter, filled with liquid (water?) It is alive, but I have not seen it moving around. I put in in isolation and will monitor it to see if it changes. It almost looks like an inflated zoanthid.

looks like a peanut worm to me.

Harmless. But odd.

I don't think its a peanut worm. Typically, they are black and white. Here are some pics of the end of a peanut worm:

I've got dozens of peanut worms in my tank that look exactly like the one above and I'd say with a 99.999999992856% certainty it's a peanut worm.

I think it is a peanut worm as well. Just with its introvert retracted.

LOL!....but not quite 100%!! I guess it could be a peanut based on your pics. I'll keep an eye on it to see what it does.

Yep, ulthariansamba is spot on.

Well, I woke up this morning and looked into the isolation box. Turns out, it was a paly! Here is a quick pic:
