Ribbon worms are in the Phylum Nemertea and are slender unsegmented, mostly nocturnal worms, and range in size from very small to several yards. They occasionally show up on live rock, and usually do well in systems with a deep sandbed, however, they are not to be trusted with very small fish and invertebrates.
