Worms?

[Kit_Kat]

Best way to get an id...put one of the worms themselves in a clear container with water and take a pic.

I think I figured it out. The container that they were in has 100’s of tiny worms and some big ones. Bristle worms?

Oh yea those are bristles...

Why would you want to get rid of them? They're a good part of the CUC of tanks.

You don't necessarily want to get rid of them, but a large population can be annoying at best so most people try to keep them a bit in check. If it was my tank, I would use a simple bristle worm trap to remove some of them and reduce feeding the tank in general to help control the population.
They are good members of your cleanup crew so I wouldn't even try for total elimination.

Bristle worms are scavengers. They can only reach plague proportions with heavy overfeeding anyway. IMHO removing them without cutting back on feeding (or increasing skimming or another method of nutrient export) is a bad thing, because it just means either some other tank scavenger will proliferate, or the organics in the water column will lead to an algae bloom.

My tank was inundated with these things. I don’t want to get rid of them, just thin them out. I checked my tank after I turned the lights out, there is still several in there.

Those tubes almost looke like spionid worm tubes. https://critterguide.ca/spionid-worm/
The red worms are definently bristle worms. A spionid worm creates tubes with mucus and debris and lives in it
