Aren’t spaghetti worms thin and stringy? The one in reference is thick and wide. It’s right next to the blackworms (not together).Could possibly be a spaghetti worm.
afaik and from referencing pictures, spaghetti worms have a thicker head and thorax and the thin feeding tentacles that for me resembled your picture. Though, that’s why i’m skeptical. The head doesn’t look as long as a spaghetti worm’s, and there aren’t very many feeding tentacles.Aren’t spaghetti worms thin and stringy? The one in reference is thick and wide.

Ah, I see. Yes that’s actually a blackworm (not tentacles) that’s next too another worm. Should have taken a better photo.afaik and from referencing pictures, spaghetti worms have a thicker head and thorax and the thin feeding tentacles that for me resembled your picture.

What a bummer. I'd assume that the planaria found in the blackworm culture wouldn't survive in saltwater right?I know this thread is old but wanted to post this in case anyone stumbled across it again, those white things are pests known as Planaria... unlike the omnivore Blackworm, planaria are CARNIVOROUS and will destroy your blackworm colony. They are literally immortal and the only way to get rid of them is by either nuking the entire batch or manually removing them, I'm very sorry... if you try crushing Planaria they will just regenerate. They're rather insane, they will kill and eat shrimp and snails including their eggs. I would blame the breeder that sold you these but I also feel bad for that breeder as I know this is actually destroying his population as well.
