    Probaly a type of Hair worm or spaghetti worm maybe.. but not sure cause it is coverd in sand.. But its in your sump so no worries..


    Heres a link look for Polychaete-Cirratulid

    Next time you see it uncover it from sand and get a look at its bodie.. that would deff get a possitive Id....

    Oh and heres my second guess only because it is so long of a worm.. Is a Ribbon worm..
