well i did some reshearch and found out that they tend to stay in live rock or in sand bed and mop up debris in the tank.

I like them in my tank. A lot of people dont They just dont realize they are good for the tank

thats a cirratulid polychaete, AKA hair worm. they are often called spaghetti worms, but that refers to a different worm. either way they are harmless detritus munchers.
