Worm...web site

Found two worms (??) in my tank tonight. Any good web sites with pictures I can use to ID these guys?

Hiding under a rock so I can't see the whole thing. One is brown and one is white/gray color. Stretches out (from 1.5 to 3 in) and grabs a mouth full of sand. It looks like the entire tip of the worm is a mouth, no eyes that I can see.

Thanks

Great link...thanks, but my boys are not there. Smooth and no sign of a head. I thought it was an arm of a large star at first but under a mag-glass I could see it was grabbing a mouth full of sand.

A guess is just a guess with no picture but have you looked at pics of peanut worms? Description sounds a little like one.
