I've been out of the hobby for a couple yrs but can still talk reefs and marine fish, So my brother-in-law get's a nanocube for his kid with a couple of nemos (pecula clowns) and one died the kids all stressed , yada yada, and now Uncle Bill have to fix it. He tells me he has little tiny white worm like creatures jetting around in the water, (I figure it's some type if imature parasite like a bristleworm) there are lots of them. the are about a 1/4 in long and resemble white thread. Are they harmful? if so can I get rid of them? Copper is out simce there is a piece of live rock. After I ck the water tonight and probably do a 50% water change, what's next??

Welcome to the board! :jumping: :jumping: :cheer:
Have the worms been there long or is is an occational swarm type thing?
The only thing that comes to mind are Epitokes. It's the reproductive phase of some type of Bristleworms. Perfectly harmless.
