I've never seen a peanut worm go from hole to hole?
Peanut worms were all I had for a few months on some fresh caribbean LR and they never did more than opened their mouths (like a small flower)... They weren't clear either, you could not see into them at all, they were more opaque like palys... That looks like something very different than a peanut worm to me Do you have any pics of them with their mouths open?

All I ever manage to catch of these worms is the hole to hole view. I've seen similar looking ones going from a rock into the sand a few inches away and digging around in the sand for along time, but never seen them extend or retract. They typcially are retracted in the morning, and come out later in the day.

excerpt taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sipuncula
The most recognizable part of Sipunculan worms is their mouth, which is surrounded by a mass of 18 - 24 tentacles, all of which may be inverted into the body. Tough to say without seeing the mouth... There are many different species of this worm though, so one being more motile than another is definitely possible.

I have peanut worms also. I have seen one worm very much like this only once going from hole to hole, I am not convinced that it was a peanut worm either. It could be though. Now that I have a macro lens for my camera if I see it again I will be taking a pic of it.
