WTH is this thing ?

Well, I can only speculate, but is this that creepy bobbit worm that has been making fish disappear and eating half of my Fiji leather ? I was cleaning the tank and removed the overflow lid to check for crap and found a snail and this worm thing. I threw the snail in the DT and closed the lid real quick.

It looks pretty long and gross. I have no courage to try and go near that again to even pull it out. I guess i'll have to but the visual of it whipping around like a caught rattlesnake has put me on edge.

OH so freaked out right now.
