ID No Photo

[Sparty00]

I noticed a worm in my tank last night and trying to get an ID if at all possible. I was not able to take a pic, because it moved too fast and went back into it's hole.

It appeared light in color like a light brown or tan. I did not see any things that resembled bristles, the worm appeared smooth in shape and was about 3 in long.

Any ideas?

do a google image search for peanut worm and see if thats what it looks like.

With that coloration I'd say Peanut Worm too.

Thanks for the info. So is this an ok worm to have in my tank, or should I try to get rid of it?

If it is truly a peanut worm they are quite desirable. I'd leave it be.
