Also possibly an Eunicid Worm,

It is my understanding that most of those worms are pretty bad news in a reef tank since they have been known to go after many different types of livestock from corals to snails to fish.

I doesn't look like the ones on those sites. Even with a magnifying glass I don't see a head or any legs. It's black and about 1 foot long.
Yes and it is kinda gross

Looks unsegmented so it may be a Nemertean, ribbon worm.

No idea what it is or what it might eat, but I would love to have it, just because I like stuff that is uncommon.

I dont know what it is. Never seen one like that before. But if its not harming anything, I would keep it.
