Hairy worm...

[Carrieso]

I saw this worm a few months ago and have looked around to find out what it is but could never get a picture. Today, I was cleaning some bubble algae off a smaller rock and this was attached to the bottom. I have removed from my tank but still am unable to figure out what it is. Any ideas??? If it's a good worm I'll put it back. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the link! I saw a couple that were similar but not exact. I'm going to just get rid of him and hope I don't find a bunch more! Still curious as to what it is but I don't think it's worth the risk to put him back. Thanks for checking it out.
