Could be a spaghetti worm. Do a google for spaghetti worm, and do a search for bristle worm, see waht turns up and if you can match it up to something.

Good luck

Worms are very difficult to positively identify. Here is a good website with a lot of pictures. Click on the worm section and give it a go.

It's a hair worm, a harmless detritivore.
