Strange worm ID
Found this in the bottom of the bin that I am using to cook some rock in. Whatever this thing is it is extremelly hardy as it was able to withstand some pretty high ammonia and nitrite readings. Here is what I can tell from observing it. It is attached to that sack thing and retracts back into it. The way it retracts is it inverts itself, basically sucks the outer part of itself inside it self. It is roughly a inch and a half long when fully retracted and about 5-6 inchs long fully extended. Never seen anykind of worm like this.

Nope, not bad. Don't know if they are beneficial, but I know they won't hurt anything.
