    Sounds like a bristle worm, one that size should probably be removes bit they are beneficial in my opinion.

    The small ones are beneficial clean up crew members, it's when they get over populated or really big that they can become a problem.

    At night he will come out sometimes and move around on bottom. When it does grab it with tweezers and take it out
