It definitely looks like a Eunicid/Bobbit worm. I've taken two out of my tanks. The larger one was about three feet long. They would come out at night and eat fleshier coral as well as pieces of kelp I put in for my conch and snails. I lost a few corals before I realized what was killing them. They are also amazingly fast. You definitely made the right choice in removing it.
