Loads of pollution prob contributes to the algeaI’m going to take a PADI diving course. On their website, they have lots of photos of the wildlife in our waters. Bad part is, not too many corals. In the summer, algae blooms prevent enough light from reaching the bottom. And the visibility is bad due to having silty water. Here’s the link with photos. Interesting though.

Oh, heck no...I had something like this years ago - in a 55 gallon tank. I turned on the light one night - and out swims a bright blue worm about 2.5 feet long. I never saw it again - but always was nervous putting my hands anywhere near that tank. It could be a tapeworm - or nematode parasite of some type that came out of your fish
Omg that so gross. I would have burned the house down and said " bye felicia". I can stand bugs and spiders and roaches but worms are all kinds of nope.I had something like this years ago - in a 55 gallon tank.

Without a good closeup it almost looks like a bloodworm...good bait on the beach for smaller stuff. They can regrow a worm fromba cut off section.
Anything that came into your tank “wet”. Most organisms start out microscopically. Even dipping doesn’t take care of everything. Nor does quarantining.But where would it come from?
I’m still thinking that one of the fish coughed it up. One end was much darker and almost had prong like parts on its body. Thinking that it might have used the fish as a host and when it outgrew it’s home, it exited through the mouth. All fish are healthy and showing no signs of distress.
This has been the only conclusion I have been able to come up with.
Will need a good picture of the head. Can you put it in a container with some tank water?
My melly wrasse would have went nuts eating that thing. Poor worm would not have stood a chance.
