Wow. Looks like a corn snake

No idea, tagging along to see what people say. How'd you catch him?

Kinda looks like a Eusyllinae or a ribbon worm... probably not.

Final answer, ribbon worm
it is a good thing you got him out, they are extreme predators ( if it is a ribbon worm )
p.s did you see a proboscis coming out of one end of the worm?

Well I did some research as well and at first I thought it is a ribbon worm, but not sure yet. I didn't see any proboscis, but it did scared me..

Too bad that he's not good for the tank, because he looks really cool!
