Default Peanut Worms???

hey, i finally got my army flashlight with the red lens yesterday after work. i turned it on when it got dark and WHAMO just like everyone says...i saw things i never knew were in there. i really tried to take pictures of them all, but with it being dark and with the red light, didnt work so well. i think i have a peanut worm living in my large piece of rock with star polyps all over it. i looked at that Xlt website but the picture didnt do it justice. tell me if this sounds like a peanut worm...i was looking at it under red light so to me...it looked sorta tourqoise, about the thickness of a spaghetti noodle, had some dark bands throughout its body and it would keep its base stationary but would stretch out about 2-3 inches and pick at the rock...the mouth would protrude outward, sorta fan out a bit...was so cool to see...amazing!!! i also was cleaning my filter cartridge out and as i pulled it out..i saw my 1st bristle worm...thing was long as hell, at least 6 inches, a lil thinner than a spaghetti noodle...i scared the crap outta my kids with it. i tossed that sucker out on the patio to freeze! i am sure there are more.

No chasing kids around the house with bristleworms and then telling the forum...all of a sudden someone from dcfs is at your house.

lol

Does sound like a peanut worm. Good to have. IMO...so are bristleworms.
