This is an extension/update of my other thread on a mystery worm. I still don't know what it is but here's what I've found since:

I tried to pick it up by digging it out and it was more fragile than I anticipated and it split in half. Both halves survived and now I have 2 of them. It was also very sticky and stuck to everything. I was able to get a picture of its head like how some people wanted and a video of it eating? Grazing? Idk but it was cleaning my sand. I watch it for a while and despite getting within a grains difference to going onto the sand bed it never went out of the sand and into the more open water.

I'm having trouble getting the video attached here so I'm gonna try posting it in another comment on this thread.

Interesting... A better picture would help but be careful not too injure it, very cool though!
