I caught this thing in my fuge today. It is about 1/2 inch long, red, not much if any bristles that I could see, 2 black eyes. It swims as fast as a chromis - that is how I was able to see it. It zigs around very fast, coiling its body like a snake to propel itself. In this 5 second video that I took stills from, it circled the container 2 times. Very fast.

They are too small in those pictures (not close enough) but are probably just harmless small/baby bristle worms..
