WHat particularly makes me think not-a-eunicid is the bluntness of those arms. Eunicids are kind of wickedly pointy, and they're fairly quick and agile and crawl about. If those tubelike structures don't ever move, it's just a little spionid worm's hard casing. Spionids have two pale hairlike tentacles that come out to fish for dirt or food and they excrete by passing a tiny bit of poo out between the two tentacles: interesting little critters, decent cleaners.

Ya I was skeptical on the size also, but it definitely has those characteristic antennae on its head. It seems to have more than 2, but it was hard to capture with my phone camera. I will be acquiring an HD digital camera today so I'll try and take some better pictures by tonight.
