If you guys/gals have any ideas of what this creature is LMK.

Thanks for the input Henry.

I didn't think it was a bristle worms for a couple of reasons.
First, no spikes along the body of the worm.
Seondly, the coloration of the worm. I've seen bristle worms range from pink/red/blue/purple, but not black.
