Wow, that's awesome, do you know what type of worm that is?

Only that it's a member of the phylum Nemertea

Well I was hoping more people would post pictures. Anyway here are a couple of my pictures.
If anyone can Identify this guy that would be great. (I have hundreds of them in my tank)

After doing some research I believe it is in the family Dorvilleidae. Anyone have any input?

Fascinating... I am a fan already of this thread. I find these little guys really cool for some strange reason. I like the bobbit worms and similar large carnivorous ones.

I also find all these worms very fascinating which is why I started this thread. It really is amazing how many different species can live in our aquariums without us even knowing.

Agreed, when I moved my aquarium I noticed a few 'peanut worms' (I try not to use common names...) and there are tons of other worms, most of which are impossible to photograph with my camera and skills
