Worms in Sump

[Jdubs]

Anyone know what this could be in my sump? It looks like white worms attached to the sides? I’m new to the reef hobby.

They look like possible flatworms. Look up red planaria.

I looked that up. They are white. I know they look red but I took the picture with my refugium light still on. Maybe they are white flatworms. From what I’ve read the white are harmless. Thank you

This dosneot look like flatworms..is it hard or soft when you touch it?
Do they feel like very small solid tubs?

Sorry...i see that wasnt your pick up above.
Do yours move at all? Almost resemble a sponge.

They don’t seem to move. There are a lot of them. Maybe detritus worms?

With the way some of them y off im inclined to think some sort of sponge growth.

Thankyou for your help. I’m going to keep an eye on them. Maybe they won’t cause any problems.
