Spaghetti Worm

[Jhoekstra84]

I'm pretty sure I know this is a spaghetti worm, so, one just looking for confirmation. Two - I know most people leave them in their tanks as they are filter feeders, but aesthetically I don't like them and want them gone. Any suggestions on a natural preparator - hoping to find something in the invert category as my current bio load is pretty high for my 13.5 EVO.

These guys eat uneaten food and detritus as does Brittle and serpent starfish. Bristleworms similar but Not welcomed in my tanks

You probably won’t find a natural predator small enough for a 13.5. You can easily manually remove them with your fingers or tweezers if they shrink up.

Pic is a bit blurry but most likely hair worms. You can try to remove them with a baster or tweezers, but unless their food source diminishes, you likely won't get rid of them all.
