Hey everybody.... Last night I turned my lights off to go to bed and about 15 min later I see a glowing thing in my tank... First off, it looked like one of those glow sticks you use at holloween only tiny... It was about an inch or two and was as thin as a pencil lead... It was weird because the glowing stuff was literally coming off of the body and difusing into the water... I didn't get a picture, but if I see it again I will be sure to take one... Also, when I turned the flashlight on and pointed it at the creature it stopped glowing... Any ideas on what this creature was?

I saw the same thing once before. Just as you described, although in my case, my Fiji devil damsel was trying to eat it, so I assume the bioluminescence was a defensive mechanism of the worm....
