    Oh, that's a CuddleWorm. They like being held in your hand and like a nice firm hug. :lol:

    Definitely a bristleworm. They're mostly nocturnal, they'll clean your tank up nicely of any detritus or leftover food. They'll only grow as large as your tank allows (via nutrient availability) so they're a self-solving problem if you decrease your feeding. People tend to be on the fence whether or not it is important to remove them.
