Help ID this worm pls for a newby. Good, bad? Saw it crawling on the glass, first two pix. last two pix are after I took it out. As you could see, a third of his body is redish. I think thats the head side.

Thanks you!

Looks like a bristleworm. Most folks agree that these are good and should be left in the tank. Check out the "worm" portion of this site for ids:

they are good in small numbers...they become unsightly in large ones
