Re: Help!!! My tank has a worm.
Looks like a bristleworm to me. A harmless beneficial scavenger. Also a very good reason to always wear gloves when putting your hands into the tank. These guys will give you a very painful sting that could cause an allergic reaction. Most of our tanks are loaded with them.

Re: Help!!! My tank has a worm.
I'm assuming your system has live rock or coral. These bristleworms hitchhike on the rock and reproduce pretty easily. See the attached thread.
