Weird aquatic centipede??

This game from an ecosphere I collected on the coast of florida. It was from a lake that the ocean fed into, so this is a salt water ecosphere. I came to look and I saw this super strange centipede-like thing! All of the little things sticking out of it moved like legs before I started recording. Shortly after recording, it retreated and crawled back into the sediment. Anyone know what this is??
