ID Please

[wen123]

Hi

Can anyone help with IDing this critter please.
He has been driving me mad. We first noticed him on 18th May.
I have been trying to ID him with no such look.
He comes out of his hole when it is dark. not just at nite but through the day if we shut the curtains.

I've got a number of shots of him, but as soon as I take a photo of him, he is straight back into his hole.
He never completely leaves his hole.
He buries his head in the sand most of the time and can change colour, as you can see.

I would be so greatful if any of you can ID him.
He is such a character. I love him, but would like to know what he is called.

WHO IS HE

LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU

THIS IS HIM COMING OUT

THE TIP OF HIM

ANOTHER SHOT OF HIS TIP

BEST PIC YET OF HIM

Thanks for any help

some sort of tubeworm? I have one that looks really similar...

that looks like a peanut worm. great detritus muncher, and excellent to have in the tank.

I concur with Paintbug.

Thanks everyone

I can now go and read up on my peanut worm.
It sounds so funny calling a worm peanut.

They are great for your tank. One of my rock has so many living in it I've named it Peanut Rock.

cool 'peanut rock', I hope we get more because I love watching him but he isn't always out.
