Spaghetti worm?

[silly_blenny]

Just want to confirm, but is this a spaghetti worm of some sort? I spotted it on the glass and removed it to take a look at it under my dissecting microscope. Just want to make sure that it isn't anything nefarious!

There are some creepy critters in our hobby

I have them in my tank and while they mainly stick to the rock crevices, it's surprising how often I see them floating through the water column, on the glass, or in my filter pads. I guess they just use the current when they want to find a new home. Mine reproduce readily, even in my bare bottom tank, and have never been a problem.
