Here is a nice resource for Identifing hitch hikers:

Scroll down to SYNAPTID SEA CUCUMBER (medussa worms) I think that is what you have.

I looked at the cucumbers, but the one in the tank has finer and branched tentacles.

Congrats on your first tank! Welcome to the addiction! Err, hobby!

Try Googling "spaghetti worm" for your critter ID. They come in reddish, brownish, cream, etc.

Thanks for the welcome. I must say it does look like a cross between the cucumbers and the spaghetti worms. I just want to know if it is bad or good, as it will be much easier to catch now while the tank is empty. I'll keep you posted.
