your right...just harmless feather dusters.

They are just part of cycle also if you have fish they will also eat them. They come from mostly the sand they die down cause after there is no more source of food they die off.

I dont have live sand, so i'm thinkin there commin from the LR. I will be converting soon, made the bad mistake of using CC and trying to do a reef, though the CC has been settled for like 2 years and I haven't done a water change in a long time... with no trate problems at all.
