I posted this a little while ago but no replies. Under some rocks out of the light is a clump of white stringy growth. It looks like spagetti. I tried to not bother anyone but could not find it. Can someone please identify this stuff? It would be extremely difficult to get a photo. Like I said its a clump about the size of a computer mouse and looks like spagetti

Possibly a spaghetti worm? Without pictures though it's up to you to make a correct identification. We can just give our thoughts.
Ok if you can expand the photo should be good

Oh! Micro feather duster worms. Each "string" is a tube, and should have a fuzzy/furry end to it. They are filter feeders - usually harmless, but sometimes aggressive growers.
Thanks. Makes me relax a bit. Actually wondering why my bristle worms all disappeared as well just since I added fish. Now have algae growing on rocks again just another mystery
