Spaghetti worms?

[Lorr415]

Spaghetti worms?? I just received this rock today. Can anyone please tell me what type of worms these are and if I should stress about adding this rock to my tank. Coral rx did not kill them off and of course I don’t know what to use that will. Any suggestions? Rock is covered in metallic mushrooms that I don’t want to harm.

Isn't spaghetti worm, but you have 2 different SP there, with the 2 long tentacles, which are flapping from the flow it's reef safe (another one detritus collector), but on the second video on the right side you have I thing another tube worm, with the shorter tentacles which I can't ID.
Hope is a bit helpful

Pics are bad. Could be spionid worm.

It’s hard to tell from the pics.

check the longer video mates, you can see it, it's with 2 tentacles, like the spaghetti worm (have many)

Yeah, all of your pics look like a bad lsd trip. Can you take pics with just white light?

It is a SHNICI indicated. They are harmless but can multiply. They secrete a mucous to build a small tube with sand grains (two tubes visible in your image), and extends two palps for feeding. The worm itself is very small

if you can watch the longer video, on the right side he have another SP, which the tentacles are again 2 but a bit tiner, and they aren't that clear, and much shorter. Also they don't move much from the water flow, but I can't say it's hydroid tentacles.
Can't see more from the video (the longer one)

Actually there is no flow on them. I apologize for the bad pictures. I will post some with white lights

I’m surprised bristle worm lived through coral dip.

That's it, the photos are much better, thank you!
Like we, with @vetteguy53081 say harmless , it's spionid worm.
Sometimes depending on the DIP and how you do it many of the worms can survive if they are been deep in the LR. Because of that almost always there is on the label to stir the solution gently during the coral/LR bath, to can enter/pass deeper in the LR pores. Sometimes the worms mucus can protect thema bit.
But almost always the tube worms are surviving.
The white on the 1st and the 4th photos look like sponge, which I think at the moment is completely harmless, just have on mind, not to expose it on air, that can kill it and to become bad for your water.

The spo ge grows quick and is hard to get rid of

Thank you everyone for your assistance. I have decided to remove the mushrooms from the rock. There are a lot of worms on the rock that I wasn’t able to remove. There are still some very small mushrooms that I am unable to remove yet so I am going to keep the rock in qt and remove the mushrooms as they grow out.
