Help identifying potential Cirratulidae

[p08]

Hi fellow reefers,

i have a few of these guys. They look like Cirratulidae (dont know the common english name, in germany they are called „Spaghettiwurm“). Normally they are red/orange, but mine are black?

Would be glad if someone could help me identify these guys, and if i should remove them or not.

Thanks,
Patrick

What’s in your tank that makes you feel that these suspension feeders are a problem? In my 55 years of Reefing, these spagetti worms indicate a healthy microbial food web.

I don’t fret on individual names, If you need that info then you made need to go to academia.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I only wanted to make sure they are not harmful. Because the color did not match any I found on the Internet, and also an aquarium-store nearby me said "I'm not sure, you should ask in a forum". :grinning-face-with-sweat:
