Okay, I need help identifying a strange worm(?) that has multiplied dramatically. First, it is not a fire worm / bristle worm. I have had these in the past. This creature is orangish-brown in color. It's body resembles an earthworm. They are typically about a half-inch but have very long tentacles about as thin as silk thread. Typically they are burrowed in the sand with a small mound or sand above them with these tentacles -- sometimes well over an inch in length -- that extend from this small sand mound, presumably seeking food. Occasionally these creatures have started lately crawling on the glass. At first I only had a couple of these, now I can count 30 - 40 at any given time. What are these? Are they beneficial or harmful? If harmful, is there a natural predator that I should intruduce to thin or eliminate them?
Thanks,
Tripp
