Bristle worm?

[Alucard]

Was checking over the tank last night and saw this little fuzzy worm wandering around one of my rocks. He got away before I could take a pic but he was really tiny, about a half an inch and looked just like this pic but was blue and white, not red. Any ideas? Ill try and get a pic asap

I personally have never seen a blue & white bristle worm before, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.....I'm sure someone else will chime in...........

I would try and catch him untill he can be id'd. It could be any type of worm, but better safe than sorry.
