That's a small terebellid polychaete which is unusual because they rarely travel up glass like that. Normally they're found in the bottom, safely hidden in a tube & using their tentacles to collect detritus for food.
 
Cool thanks, Ive never seen one out on the glass, so I wasnt sure if it was the same. Usually I see only about 2 tentacles coming out of a tube.
 
If you only see 2 tentacles coming out then it's not a terebellid. The common polychaete families in tanks that have 2 tentacles are spionids & chaetopterids. both are also deposit feeders.
