I have 4 of these in High flow area's and they don't seem to be bothering anything just flapping and eating. I'm at 50/50 on the research half good half bad. Help please.
Is this a Spaghetti or Hair worm?

Hard to get. The body stays in the Substrate while the arms wonder around. I didn't know it was this BIG till i moved the rock my clam was on and found it hanging at the bottom. I'll try posting a Picture tomorrow of one in my tank.

Oh Krish, how could you? Comparing a cute little wormie to your semi-digested lunch!
:drama:
Actually it's a Cirratulidae, AKA hair worm, although it is still a beneficial detritivore. There's a group of feeding appendages up by the head which gathers food. The rest of the appendages primarily function as gills.

Although, perhaps we should be more concerned about your diet than anything else......:wink:
