the bottome ones are of the ones i was talking about. Its hard to see but they have numerous tentacles that are usually free flowing in the water.

The first one is what i am guessing is a fire or bristle worm.

Not sure of eithers "reefsafeness"
So from the pics you can tell that i have at least two types of worms. I saw one of the spiny ones before but didnt realize they were everywhere. Can i get some positive ids???

Thanks guys,

Ben

thought id cut and paste this in a new thread since the old thread will probably go un noticed as far as the change goes. Anyways, any ideas?
 
The first one is a bristle worm. They are mainly detrivores. Nothing to be concerned about with him. I have no idea what the second and third pictures are though.
 
The first is a bristle worm

2nd and 3rd pictures are spagetti worms.

Both are good little dietrius eaters.

Matts125 also posted a picture of one.
 
They are all over my tank. They are way over populated. Will anything feed on them. Its getting quite rediculous.
