Little black worms

[nolanp489]

Went to go feed my yellow tang and goby in my quarantine tank and I noticed these little black worms all over the PVC pipe and on the rocks does anybody know what these are? It's kind of hard to get a picture of them because they're so small but I attached some

Are they baby bristle worms? I can't tell from the photo. You might need a close up.

I agree - can’t tell from the photos. If your able to get a close up it may help.
Take care

I hope this is better? They're so small I can't get the camera to focus that close to them. They almost look like if you shaved your beard and your hair fell in the tank.

Did you ever get an ID? I think I'm looking at the same thing.

Looks like detritus worms.
Do they look like this? :

friendly little oligochaete worms, they are good and kinda related to terrestrial earthworms

This is exactly like what mine look like. It doesn't appear that they are moving my tank. However, I see a lot of them in my sump inside my skimmer.

I don't think that is what I have.
A little background. This is a 2 month old tank. Cycled with Dry sand and Rock/ammonia....fishless cycle. There are fish, hermits, snails in the tank currently. I just added tester corals. All fish and coral are doing well and look great.

I thought I added another part. Try nemertean (ribbon worm)
