Worm in Discus Tank

[Rudra]

Hi,
Today morning when I turned on the lights, i see this white-pinkish 4 inch long worm on the side of the glass.. since I was leaving in a hurry, I took a quick pic of it and left.. I am assuming a worm is never welcome in an aquarium.. could someone help me in id'ing it and potential issues with this..

Hopefully someone comes along with more experience on this.but it had to come from somewhere.Did you add any new plants recently.do you use well water?

4 inch is rather large was it alive? Like living in the aquarium? BB, sand, or gravel? You have plants are you sure not a broken off bit of amazon root?
