little white wormey things

[dburkinshaw]

I've recently noticed that I have these white worm like creatures crawling along the glass of my 55/FO tank. They look like white centipedes. I don't think they are copepods. I have those and they don't look the same. I also have these other white creatures that flail around in the water. These do not look like the creatures on the glass. I usually suck them up with an eye dropper and drop them into my protein skimmer to die. Any clues as to what these things are? Good/Bad?

What are you using for a base? cc or ls, we have ls and we have little white worms crawling in ours, they are good for your tank. LOL Lisa

My tank has crushed coral for its base. It's been running since August of last year. The fish are doing fine as well as the snails and hermit crabs. I don't have any live sand or live rock. The last thing I introduced to the tank were the crabs back on 12/3/00. Seems odd that it's taken this long for these creatures to show. They are about 1/4 inch in length.

I have those wormy things in my 125. I do not know what they are, but I have done nothing about them and the tannk is doing fine. Mine come out night when the lights go off.
