Tiny worms appeared all over the glass today. Trying to ID them.

They appear to be spinoid worms but rarely are on the glass

Could be starving. They'll climb glass on new aquariums.

Thanks. I'm trying to starve out the tank to hopefully get rid of digitate hydroids. I spot feed 1 clownfish with a pipette one pellet at a time and dose phosphate/nitrate to keep it in range. Most of the pods died off (due to hydroids?) and hoping the hydroids will die off soon.

The worms and hydriods both eat pods. So, pod population being down is causing the worms to search in other places. So, once your issues are solved, you can work on getting the pod population back up.
