Moved quickly? Eunicid worm is my bet.

Good hunch,that was my gut instinct, could be a number of other worms though.

Good, bad or indifferent?

Could be any one of the above. Monitor your livestock and make sure things aren't going missing, if they are....get it out!

Okay, I am hearing some clicking coming from in there, never heard it before and have
added nothing new to tank. Hmm

Clicking is usually a sign of a Mantis. Well that or a Pistol Shrimp.

too much of a lack of info for anyone to give you any meaningful advice.
watch it close, listen for clicking.

Bristle worms and mantis shrimp and pistol shrimp all look very different, but based on your description, it could be any of them.

best to be sure before you consider any advice or diagnosis.
wait until your lights are out, and put some food near where you saw it retreat (not with your fingers) and see if you can't get a better description.
