I have a lionfish with a cloudy eye. I got some medicine from my LFS (Pimafix)
About 15-30 seconds after I put it in I saw a bunch of small white worms squiggling around. They are about 1/4" long and 1/16" around. I have not noticed any legs or antenna. They wiggle like mad. I have never seen them before. Is there anyone out there that can help me identify this worm? I do not think it likes the medicine that I am giving the lionfish, so maybe that will just take care of it. I am working on the water flow in our tank to get rid of any stagnent areas that may be collecting excess food. I change my water EVERY week. I have been moving my rocks usually one side or the other each water change. I have a 75g tank with 80lbs of live rock it has been set up since June. I can not think of any other info..... any questions please ask.
I am looking for an identification if possible and if anyone knows, good or bad for the tank....

I used to know the name of them, something like Dorvil... Can't remember. It's a type of Bristleworm, most are beneficial.
