Need a better picture. Remove the worm to a clear container with tank water and take several shots from different angles. Thanks!

do a quick google image search on eunicid worms and see if that's what you've got. if so, bad bad juju - read up on them.

get a look at its head: if it has tentacles, it's safe in your sump but not in your dt: a fish eater.
