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 small, almost like 1/8" to 1/4" and white in color. :help:

LOLOLOL!!!
Those look just like baby bristle worms!!!!
Dont worry too much about them but if it starts to get out of hand i would recommend getting a Banna Wrasse or a 6 line wrasse if you wanna get rid of them.

No, as I've said, it's very small. About 1/4 to 1/6 of an inch. I can barely see any features other than it's white and crawling around, lots of them. :help:

No, I read that. But the one in that pic is only about a quarter inch also, so I had to ask...

Not sure what you have there... Are they always long and thin or do they ever get "fat" looking??
