Found a half eaten hermid crab in my sand and upon inspection overnight found that I have what looks like a group of small euclid/bobbit worms.

They're white/black striped, unlike the ones I've seen in threads here.. Feelers showing above sand, quickly disappear below sand if disturbed.

Does anyone have advice as to their removal? Do I need to just gut the tank? I've just been zapping it with AptasiaX everytime I seen them assuming it was just a small aptasia.

Tried to get a pic, but it blends in so ridiculously well with the sand in the picture..
 
Are you sure it wasn't a molt?
 
It's really blending in with the sand and I don't have a better camera. :( It has the white/black feeler things I'm seeing in pictures.
 
If you know where one of them hangs out trying either just digging it out or place a trap near it, with out pictures it will be very hard to ID it for sure.
 
Spaghetti worms? Have you seen pictures of those?
