Floating spinning worms

Ignoring my slight algae problem does anyone know what these little floating worm things are?

I can’t see your video but it sounds like epitokes

I’ll try and fix it later but are epitokes bad?

It does look like epitokes. It’s when a polychaete worm reaches that part of life when they’re sexually mature. Worry? No. But I’m sure you’ve got some bristleworms

So bristleworms are ok? no need to worry about them or should I find a predator for them? I had a six line awhile ago but he decided to go carpet surfing before I got a lid.

Some people set up traps for them. But I feel it’s impossible to rid your tank of them. If they’re there, they’re there.

So I shouldn't worry too much they won't hurt my fish or coral? They are fun to watch fly around.
