I found this worm in my tank today. Maybe 3-4inches long depending on how it's stretched out. Very skinny, and white with long hairs coming off the sides. The hairs are longer and further apartment than say a bristle, or fire worm.

I've tried to identify it, but haven't been able to. Just curious if it's something I should take out, or a cool critter to have. C8BAE892-6E69-4BE4-9D5D-2849BFC17B41.jpeg

So far nobody has been able to identify it on here, or Reddit, and I definitely have no idea.

It only comes out when I feed the tank meaty foods which scares me a little lol. Might play it safe and remove it.
