My guess would be a spaghetti worm, you will want to keep that in your tank, good cuc!
 
Hard to tell from the image alone, even when improving contrast and cropping out the specimen to remove distractions from the image:

It's noticably thicker on the upper half than on the lower half which applies to some Dorvilleidae, but I can't make out any antennae or so on the image. A spaghetti worm would have many small tentacles which I can't see on the image.
