Cool! You are right that it's some kind of ragworm/sandworm, which are in a family of worms called Nereididae. Not 100% certain on an ID, but will ponder it! By the way, these worms are not arthropods, they belong to a group called the annelids :) Do you think you could change the category to "Other"? Thanks!
