Tiny white worms on glass

[jkentfite]

Spirorbid worms i would bet.

I don't like any worms good or bad and lean towards the PraziPro it and see if it dies approach, lol. Feather dusters might bite the dust though if that's a concern

Or this?

I have a new to me nano and I suddenly have a lot of the worm thing pictured. I have difficulty identifying due to a poor vision and color blindness issue and it makes it difficult for me to identify via the internet. What is the worm thing you posted a pic of so I can research it further and hopefully make a positive id on my end.

It's a Polychaete - Dorvilleidae, a type of bristle worm. I consider them a great part of the CuC

It's a Polychaete - Dorvilleidae, completely harmless and a good CuC member

I have these, what are they? Are they harmful?

 

[Brew12]

Shouldn't be harmful at all.

I was checking out some pods on the glass when I noticed a group of white worms about the same size as pods, just elongated and moving around on the glass. No discernable limbs, not free floating.
Should I be worried? First time i've seen them is today, and just the one group of about 4-5.

Can't get a picture at the moment, sorry.

Hello All, I have these guys... they come and go... probably the third time I've seen them... they appear out of nowhere... they are always in clumps like this then gone ... Can anyone tell me what they are and if they are trouble?

Thank you.

Looks like snail eggs to me. Shouldn’t be a problem

Many years ago I had what looks like the worms you have. I had quite a population of them on the glass.I just happened to buy a pygmy angel that eat them and I never saw them again. However, many things appear and breed only to die right back and disappear sometime later of their own accord.

I went to record them and try to see if they were moving or connected and there happen to be a red legged crab eating them... At least that what it looked like... he moved on after a little while and there are still a ton of them...

@Brew12 i found worms lole this in my tank last night between the glass and magnet of a frag rack. Any idea what it is or if it’s bad and how to remove? My tank is a 30” cube that i am still setting up. No fish or rock yet just frags, refugium, snails and sand in Tupperware containers getting seasoned. Thanks for any help with these critters
