ID this forme....remove or not to remove?

Dude I have no idea what it's called but I have a few in my tank and am pretty confident that's it's nothing to be concerned about. I've had one for over a year and just recently noticed a couple new small ones. They live in the same hole all the time and don't move about the tank like a bristle worm can. They come out of the hole to eat and their body stretches and elongates and then a bristle brush like part extends out of the end of the worm and then back in again, yes? I am very well versed on hitchhikers but have never come across anything like this in my reading before. I have wanted an ID for so long but it's hard to describe and I have never been able to get a pic before until a couple days ago! Maybe with your pic and mine someone who knows the name of it will be able to tell us! 
That's exactly what they are! Thank you so much for the ID jechew! Here's a link to Marc Levenson's site with some fantastic pictures if the op or anyone else is interested.

It's funny how one dude will think something like a worm is so ugly they might remove it from the tank just because of that and another dude- or dudette- spends more time watching things like this with a flashlight in the dark than she does her fish because they're so fascinating!
