red centipede looking thing

[geaston]

my wife noticed a red worm of some sort that is about an inch long and has lots of very short legs. it hangs out only in a particular live rock and hides most of the time. in comparing it to a creature that i know i'd say it's similar to a centipede. or like a pipe cleaner. when a flame scallop died recently, i noticed that he was in the feeding frenzy that resulted, so he was obviously happy to get some fresh meat.

any idea what i have?
