Are these little things called pipworms

[Delly]

Hey everyone,

If this is in the wrong place please move this post !!

About three weeks ago I brought some plated SPS(My first plated SPS), I got one green and one red Montipora Caps. When we flipped them over at the store the I asked a question about these small little "pip worms" which I believe he said.

Anyway I asked if I should scrub them off and he said no they are fine, they are good for the reef and they don't harm anything.

So I just decided to Dip and let them be.

Today I woke up and saw them started to spared all over the tank.

See pictures

What are these little things?

Should I be concern that this is happening, If so how do I remove them? Are these ok for the reef?

Thank you,

Delly

Spirorbid worms. Harmless.

You completely harmless but can spread pretty fast in some spots, if they become an eyesore they can be easily scraped off with a razor blade

Thanks guys, I will look into the Spirorbid worms and see what they bring to the table.

Thankyou for the help
