creepy worm X2

I have decided to sell off my tank and as I was cleaning it, I came accross this little thing...

I found it deep inside my sand bottom...

It looks like a tape worm

It looks like bristles on that worm, but that mouth is funky.

Sorry, dunno.

That would most likely be an eunicid worm.
Pretty destructive and will eat anything.

Peanut worms are nothing to worry about.
