Is this a spaghetti worm?

[Teeb]

I just found this "thing" in my sump and was wondering what it was. It looks similar to a spaghetti worm. Any other ideas?

I thought that the spaghetti worms were red? I believe it is something else but not sure what.

Great....I gotta sea monster.

LOL! Sea monster...

That looks like a Spaghetti worm to me. Pretty sure it is.

Pretty harmless and can provide assistance to the cleanup crew...but they can irritate some zoas and palys... I don't have a problem with them and I've seen a couple of them in my tank.

Looks like it's really small. Is it attached or something moving in the water?

I think it is a spaghetti worm. It was on the glass in my sump. I didn't see it swimming at all.
