Worm

Last night I walked by my tank and saw a white worm about .75 of an inch long with black or brown bands around it. My tank is almost 3 weeks old. Any ideas on what it is? I wasn't able to take a picture because it got caught in the flow of the tank and then fell on to the sand and was gone couldn't see it anymore.
