I am having issues identifying this little worm in my tank.... I have been doing research and looking all over because it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a picture of theses dang things... I found some pics online that look very similar and just wanted to shoot them out to see if anyone has any ideas...
They look a lot like the picture below but the stripes are much less noticeable and they are also smaller < For Now...> They only come out at night and i mainly notice them on the glass.. Super fast as well..

I agree, that pic may be. But they go on the glass. It is small and does not have any noticeable hairs or anything on it. Just the same kinda look. I am going to keep trying to get a real pic of it but its Super hard to get a okay one. The second the light his it is scurry's off to fast to snap it.

Dorvillidae worm is a lot like what it looks like but they are still very small so it is hard to tell if they have the hairs like that, but like @S-t-r-e-t-c-h said they do move fast.

I am going to do my best tonight to get a picture of them... So many worms looks similar.... I do notice them on the rock but mainly on the glass.

Oenone Fulgida. They are super fast when they see light and only come out at night. That may be what you have.
