Default Spaghetti Worm?

Living in my rockwork is some kind of critter with half-a-dozen arms/legs. These arms are very thin, (about the thickness of string), and can stretch to two feet long. The arms are banded red and white like a barber pole and are constantly poking about the rock and sand. I'm thinking Spaghetti Worm but can anybody confirm this? Sorry, I've tried but can't get a clear close-up.

Hey Lance, I believe it might be a type of terebellid polychaete (sp?)

Yeah possibly. Loimia medusa looks close also. Not exactly sure what it is but he sure is cool!
