The next one(s)

Ok another neat or strange things in the tank;

Looks like some type of worm but moves around bottom of tank in this clump, not individual strands. Spiderish;

It doesnt look like bristleworms. Reminds me of freshwater blood worms.

yet moves along the bottom as a clump.

ty for any id help

Apologies for my worthless unhelpful post .... but -

can any of the worms separate from the clump on their own? if the answer is no you have a Terebellid worm and all the little worms are actually the feeding tentacles of a big worm. they are good guys

Thanks! Yes it looks similar; the worms are not free so it looks like u are right that they are tentacles of sorts; now looking a little deeper, in the sand is a tube like red brown thing;

thanks very much!

anytime, large oligochaetes that look like like tubifex are fairly uncommon to find in saltwater. most are teeny tiny and resemble white hairs
