I was walking by the tank and saw something swimming very rapidly back and forth. NOTHING was chasing it, but it was swimming really fast. I thought it was my long lost purple firefish. I managed to scoop it up. It has a white head with plainly visible eyes and a red body with some sort of cilia that beats to cause it to move. Looks like a red millipede. It is really gross. We thought it was a bristle worm, but wasn't aware that they had eyes.
Any guesses?

This is what I think it is....the reproductive stage of a bristleworm. My question is.....is it okay in the tank or BAD?

I had a white one in my tank one night. I caught it to see what it was and put it back, I haven't seen it since. It was shooting around my tank like a missle.
