Can anyone identify these tiny white worms that's crawling all over my fowlr tank? I'm surprise they are there in the first place because my tank is running with copper. I didn't think there would be any worms or pods alive in copper, although I don't have any pods. These worms are small, very...

Anybody ever kept a powder blue tang with a copperbanded butterfly together in the same tank before or currently? I just added the copperbanded to my 150 with my established pbt and the pbt wouldn't stop chasing the butterfly. It was as if they were not meant to exist in the same tank or ocean...
