| From the color of the segments it looks just like the ones that stretch out of my rock after the lights go out. Mine have those different colored segments like yours but I have never seen one come completely out of its hole to see the end. I would toss it just to be safe.

| Nice article Jason. I thought it resembled a flatworm. There are so many different species of life.
I would have flushed it too. No since in taking too big of a chance.
