OHH DOOD !! no those ones ...LOL!! ... just joking hmm i can barely see the worms but i believe those are bristle worms which are not that bad.
they usually eat all the left overs from the fish's food and all the death stuff they find.

Looks kinda like small bristle worms, but tough to tell without a close up.

 

[Detri]

I took about 15 pics of them. I couldn't get a decent close up of them. Or, I don't know enough about my camera to get a decent one lol. Thanks for the replies!

I am pretty sure that those are bristle worms. They are cool as long as they don't get to Steve Weast size!!!!

 

[spongebob lover]

i agree with Charlie .
you might wanna talk to Steve (wrightme43) about globes

Well I only saw a few of them. I will keep taking photo's till I get a decent close up of them. But I think they are bristle worms aswell. From the pics I have been looking through.

Ok I have noticed a diffrent kind in my tank. I am not even going to try and take a pic of them. They come out during feeding time. They are almost bright pink and have white leg like things sticking out all over the body.

I agree with everyone too Detri. Don't worry about the camera...I have the same problem taking a million and only 1 almost coming out (LOL)

did you check in there? because it might be a fire worm or a nereididae worm

 

[Detri]

Well looking at those pics I have one of two that are there for curtain.

This one. Nereididae worm

Or this one. worm fireworm orange

My wife thinks its the first one. She is the one that pointed them out to me.

 

[spongebob lover]

hmm if it is the fire worm dood you are gonna have to remove him.
some fireworms are harmless but some of them would eat anything and when i say anything i mean any type of coral .
here's an idea how you can catch him :
Don't feed the tank for a few days make some kind of contrapion out of a plastic cup or something with cone type openning. Put food in it, put the trap close the rock that the worm is in and by morning he should be in there .

 

[Detri]

Well I was able to get one out today. I moved a snail shell and it was on the bottom of it. There are a few of them that I have seen, so 1 down a few to go hehe. Is there a fish that will eat them?

Those are harmless bristle worms, no reason to get excited or bother them. They help clean the tank in the same way pods do.
