How big is that thing? Was your digicam in macro mode? BTW...I have never seen anything like it.

It was only an inch long, so I was definitly using marco mode. It was pretty neat, I think I have dozens of them because I see their feeding tenticles all over the bottom of my tank. Does anybody know if treating with Interceptor would kill these worms? I think they're very beneficial to my tank.

Dont need to rid them from your tank. They are harmless detrivours
