    And are they friendly, or should I be worried? I found it when I was cleaning out my sand, sifting through it, and I saw that cocoon looking thing, it looked like a worm shape but made out of slimy sand? I took it out and this 10" worm crawled out??

    Hard to get the scale, how long do you suppose that guy is?
    looks like bait. Save it for some spring fishing.

    i think a spaghetti worm typically looks like a knot of many strings on one end, and a single worm on the other end

    Looks a little like a Bristleworm. If it is there is debate as to their usefulness in the reef tank. Probably useful as long as there aren't too many of them. Wouldn't grab one though.
