No details are showing but just from the color I'd guess it's a common amphinomid of that sort that most reefers call bristle worms. If it is then it's a useful detritivore and scavenger.

If you click the picture then click it again you can see detail, Not a bristle worm..in my last picture you can see a uclid worm on the right. The one to the left is in question. it has no eyes,its translusent with a couple random brown stripes and 8 to 10 tenicals on the end of its body..when it moves it comes out of its body, not your typical worm stretching out, also it has no legs..

Thanks

Oops! Sorry. Now I can see it - it's a peanut worm AKA Sipunculan. Beneficial detritivore.
