What is this
 
tonight i was cleaning my tank and fixing the skimmer and saw a small worm like thing. It was about 1/2 an inch and had yellow tenticles coming out of it. it moved like a worm too.
Has anyone seen this sort of thing?
This is the best pic i could take of it sorry

It's hard to tell by the pic it could be a bristle worm. Does it have hair like bristles along the sides?

Cheers
