Weird looking worms

[Jc1975]

Help! I have an established 120 gallon tank and just started using snails and sea urchins. I was looking at the tank and int the intake there are pinkish looking worms big and small. What are they and how do I get rid of them without harming the other fish? Excuse my panic in the video. Also posted a pic

The only way to get those worms out is with chopsticks. They are delicious on noodles with soy sauce!

Those are typical scavenger worms and normal in a reef tank. That you found a few in the overflow means there could be a lot in the sand (do you have sand?) If you don't want to enjoy them on noodles you could also siphon them out but they are not going to harm anything where they are at, in fact they might be good to clean up detritus and food particles that float into that area.

Yes I have sand. We did siphon the larger ones out but the small ones were in spots we couldn't get to. This makes me feel better as I was worried for the fish.
