I have a 55 gallon saltwater and that just a week ago I noticed one of my blue damsels has ich. Then a few days latter I noticed these little tanish/white worms on the inside of the tank. is this related to the ich? I am treating the tank for ich. Are the little worms ok? I have two blue damsels and two ocilarious clown fish. The fish like to eat the little worms off the sides of the tank. please help.
 
There are bad worms and good worms and 'mixed reviews' worms. Hard to tell from your description. A picture might help. Depending on what you are using to treat ich, the worms could go unaffected or they can be killed. Most copper treatments will devastate any invertebrate population. Hence it's usefulness in treating ich. If the fish are eating the worms I'd say they are safe but can't be sure.
