Tiny needle like worms swarming on glass

[zpete3323]

Hello all,

Have recently had these guys pop up in both my office nano and my main system and was wondering if anyone had an ID or a good/bad say on these little buggers...

They are about 1/8" long give or take and swarm in droves on the glass and rockwork and move in a mat formation all together.

I have been sucking them out as I find them but have made little to no forward progress on eradicating them....

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Today I found about an 8" long strand in the nano tank and 2 open hand sized spiderweb looking mats in the main system.

ID and help please?

Hi, Left the house for a couple hours, come in and straight away check the tank as usual. Find this to what looks to be coming out the sand bed and up the glass around 6-8” or so. many ideas what it is? Should I be worried or need to do anything or can it just be left alone? Seems to be moving...

Sudden single spidery algae monster

This popped up and grew exponentially within hours. It looks and feels like algae (wipes off easy), but the sudden onset is weird! I haven't cleaned the tank in several weeks, so there's a small bit of normal film algae, but no problems or algae anywhere else. Any insight? Thank you!

Good luck

Thanks @ying yang! I read those threads but they both seem to identify them as a fungal issue and not so much a worm issue?? The second thread ended with worms rather than fungus but still no ID yet. Bizzare!
