[Phantom7]

Finally found some time to clean up this GHA, but was curious what these little white worms were before I did? Thank youᵕ̈

Not sure why I always have issues attaching videos from my phone. Hopefully this does it.

Have you identified them yet? Do they only come out at night?

 

[nickm]

Looks like what I have.

I have not, and they were out all the time. Looking now, I don’t see any but I’m also in the middle of water change lol

The ones I have only come out when lights are off.

@ISpeakForTheSeas here's a screenshot from nickm's video... I can't remember what these are.

Juveinile bristleworms, have hundreds of them in my tank, they will eat Detritus but also have venomous spines that can irritate your skin so it's best not to touch them, you can get numerous fish and inverts that will eat them

Neither of the posters' pictures/videos look like bristleworms.

That’s what I thought they were. Was going to buy a microscope and get a better look at them.

They don’t. What do you think they are. I thought they were baby bristleworms.

I don't know what it is which is why I tagged ispeakfortheseas in my earlier post.

They do look exactly like what I have in my system, which was ruled as bristleworms in the thread I posted. They look exactly like that from afar. Here's a close up

And here's one from afar

That is not a bristleworm.

That is not a bristleworm.

It's a Dorvilleidae

 

[EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal]

But nickm's has a white "collar" and I know there's a specific type of worm with that pattern but can't recall the name.

@ISpeakForTheSeas YOU TOLD ME IT WAS A BRISTLEWORM! What do they do? Are they still venomous and are they harmful?
