Default ID please: worm-like creature

I just got 60lbs of fiji in my tank last week and I have no idea how anything on it would survive, but this guy did! I saw it laying between the rocks today while I was cleaning my filter. It's about 6 inches long but I think there was more under the rock. The end of it is pretty thick and it gets thinner as you get closer to the head. When I turned the lights on to get a better look, it started moving underneath the rock. There was what looked like a smaller version (about 2 inches long) near it, just laying on the substrate and was not under a rock. Anyone know what this thing could be? It's kind of creepy...

It would help if you could provide a picture, or at least a good description. It is likely a Bristleworm, but we would need a picture to be sure.

I was just talking to someone else who got a 'dead' large worm out of that shipment. Didn't sound like a bristleworm, but I haven't seen a lot of dead ones really....so far I haven't seen anything but I did frag an sps off there.....wouldn't that be cool if it lived

It's funny you say it could be a bristleworm. I don't know if you saw my post here a few days ago, but while putting the rock in the tank I hurt my hand on something and a lot of people told me it sounds like I touched a bristleworm. I don't think this is a bristleworm though, it's very long and has a white body. he program I used to use to load photos has shut down, so here's the link to it for now, let me know if it doesn't work and sorry the picture isn't very good. The one circled in red is the big one that I saw and the one circled in blue is the little one that looks pretty dead now.

I did some research, I think it's a Peanut Worm. Does anyone know anything about them?

Clicking on the link does not work. It says an error has occurred because I am not the owner of the album. Peanut worms are good.
