ID please

last night I found a new hitchhiker in my tank and I have no idea what it is. its definitly a worm of some type, its a tan/cream color about 4-5 inches long and looks just like a centipede and the head is like a pencil eraser with 2 little black eyes. Thats about all I could see of it.

I took a pic but I cant find the cable to plug into my computer so that will come later.

thanks

Was he fast like lightning when you tried to catch him?

Here's a good place to look for a comparison:

I think its this one

The Lumbrinerids - They are primarily soft bottom inhabitants, but can occur on hard substrates. Some construct mucus tubes. They have a well-developed jaw apparatus suitable for grasping food material. Most of them are predaceous carnivores or scavengers.

are they reef safe????
