I saw this worm on my glass and then it sent out many tentacles. As I was taking pictures my diamond watchman goby ate it.

Couldn't tell you, not with these pics. Guess we'll never know :(
My best guess would be a small medusa or peanut worm since you mentioned tentacles. Were the tentacles coming out of the front or somewhere else?
EDIT: Could've been a spaghetti worm too like you mentioned

The popped out so fast and my goby ate it. I did buy bristle and spaghetti worms for my tank a couple years ago. I’ve never seen a spaghetti worm since though. I have a feeling you don’t like bristle worms, I don’t know where I got that from though.
 
Alright I’m not playing around, I’m thinking a spaghetti worm, what do you say @ISpeakForTheSeas ?
Haha, sorry, been super busy - yeah, a Spaghetti Worm or Hair Worm would be my first thoughts:
Looks like either a hair worm (Cirratulidae) or a spaghetti worm (Terebellidae) to me - if the tentacles all come out from a single point, it’s a spaghetti worm; if they come out from basically all over the body it’s a hair worm.

It was eaten as I was taking pictures by my diamond goby, I’m guessing spaghetti worm since I purchased some, thank you so much!
