the other day i was moving something on my nano 2.5 and noticed this worm-like thing swim up, then down and buried into the substrate. i recently got the tigers with Viktor's order and was wondering (dang it, did i introduce something!!!) the thing is like a centimiter long with a bump at the end, pale grayish color...

not really, it didn't have the "arms", was also darker than that. thats pretty cool looking oktopus-like bug though

I think they're called hydras. They are kind of creepy. Anything other than shrimp in the shrimp tank is worrisome.

Sounds like planaria (flatworm):
