So I was getting up for work this morning and notices swimming around in my tank does anybody have any idea what it could be?

Looks like a fireworm to me but not 100% positive

Best guess is a bristle worm. Try google image search for bristle wor and see if anything looks close.

I would agree there is a chance it's a fireworm (bad) but without a better pic it would be hard to tell.

+1 for Maidia's post. Are they the same?

This is more gray and I did not see the bristles coming off of it and it was swimming like crazy at the top of my tank

I can't find any pictures of it online I have looked and do bristle worms usually swim through the water towards the top of the tank?

Can you get a picture of its head? Count how many antennae or appendages are there. That may also help.

Worst case, your LFS may be able to help identify it and potentially use it as food for a predator tank

It looks like a bristle to me, but I've never seen them "swimming"? Either way, that bucket looks like a nice home for it.

Well here is a better picture of this thing but you can't see is it has long white strings coming off of it

 

[Mjl714]
