Can anyone help to ID these small white worms please?
they are on my power heads + filter, could they be nudibranchs maybe?
They seem to be hanging on to the sides of things like a caterpillar would

this is the best picture I can get at the minute

They look like pineapple sponges. Harmless hitchhiker that thrives in high nutrients/if you add too much food or are overstocked etc. Personally I think they are cute.

That’s good to know that they are harmless , thank you!
 
I believe pineapple sponges? They don't do much and my fish eat them for some reason so they should be ok. Might clog your pumps and stuff up though
