Eunicid?
Is this what I think it is?
The video is the best I could manage with my equipment on hand. Overall, I would guess the size of this guy at 0.5 inches at max length. I don't care for the extensions that come poking out of the business end. Can anyone deffo id him for me?

looks like a bristleworm, from what I can see of him.
If it has 5 tentacles on its head, eunicid, otherwise ok. Leslie H says bristleworms can pick up things by sucking them against their mouthparts. Harmless.

Definately not a standard polychaete bristleworm sk8r. Got plenty of those to be familiar with. There a few tentatcles that come out of the head area when it is fully extended, and then they retract into the head. Can't see exactly how many, yet. The body is smooth, kind of black and bluish stripes, very very thin. For comparison in that video, the largest of the zoa heads is around 1/4 inch in diameter
Is this common of the Eunicids, or this another type of worm?

Sorry, I can't go past "wormie-sorta-thingie". There's just not enough detail in the video. I can see that the proboscis comes out to grab things but no detail.
