Fireworm? Bristle? Or other? Lots of long tentacles

[dscount]

Well I'm not sure what this guy is. He has several arms and I usually don't bother this one. Since he is so dang small.

But I was sucking up a bristle worm and he got caught.

I see these little arms out from under some LR that just check around for food.

This is his whole body stretched out. So it's like part WORM on the right and a mass of body with all the tentacles.

Fluff will most likely know?

Medusa worm maybe, but I didn't think their tentacles got that long.
But you are right, Fluff or someone else might know.
Strange looking critter.


+++EDIT+++
I haven't been able to find a medusa worm that isn't white.
Are you sure they are tentacles, and not the worm's innards, that were sucked out through it's mouth?

Okay. The plot just thickened.

I THINK I have two critters here. The right mass seemed to start moving on it's own with two distinct ends.

So maybe a bristle with a spagetti wrapped together?

Looks like a cirratulid polychaete or hair worm. They are excellent cirtters to have.
