white worms??

1clownman · Oct 21, 2005

ok I have a problem here. recently I have noticed tons of tiny little white things. they are all over my rocks and in the sand. I first noticed them when I returned home from a trip. since then they have multipled 10 fold. and now my corals are not doing to well. all the fish are fine but a feather duster is gone, and others don't look so good. can anyone help me?? thx!

That is natural LR fauna. No need to worry.

I have this problem too....I just noticed them all over one side of the glass. They are very small and they have a bunch of legs. I have no idea what they are.

my don't have any legs, they are long and skinny like a strand of hair. they wiggle all the time. I have no clue as to what they are, all i no is that they are displeasing to the eye.

clownman yours are probably speggetti worms not sure on the spelling do a search they dont hurt anything if things are having problems test your water and see where you are at.
for the others take a picture hard to tell from your discription
