Hard to tell from the video, and I'm no expert but it looks like a spaghetti worm. Any chance that the fish was eating it and spit it out??

Well just looked at it through the mag glass and it has 2 tiny black eyes before the wiggly head Half id pink and the other half is tan/light brown

um... as bad as it sounds... which end did the worm come out of?

was it just picking at the worm, (like stated above) or did it literally come out of him?

Thanks,Yeah me too not using it with Prazipro. I did the Prazi over 2 weeks
ago and he finished 1 week and started another round and had to quit because he went off his food and next day got Ich, so I put him in a brand new tank and started cupramine.

So I dont know where it came from other than from him?
