Found this in my tank - ID please

[originalozzyo]

Getting ready to move my tank, found this in the rockwork surrounded by a whole bunch of
empty shells. Anyone know what it is before I flush it?
Approx 3-4" long. Some kind of bristle worm?

that's no bristle worm. Looks predatory to me. Can you get a better picture of its mouth parts? Some species of 'bobbit' worm have spines like that

That gives me the creeps

Well whatever it is it's long gone now haha. I told the wife and my mother to come see what I found. They both screamed and went back upstairs. Wife wouldn't come near till it was gone lol
