Hey all,

I have lots of worms in my tank, I don’t mind I use gloves, and they do their part. But man are they getting big, and also are kinda greenish. Are these bad worms. They live next to my mushroom so I am guessing no?

but like I said they are getting HUGE.

They fight with the CUC for food and will come out in bright light.

They look like bristle worms, but I'm not 100% sure. If it is a bristle worm, I'd just remove them if I were you as they can get very large. Just make sure not to touch them. Here's a link to a web page that talks about how to remove them-->How to remove bristle worms from tank
