Hey everyone,
I'm relatively new to the reef scene so still running into new things on a daily basis. I was just doing some maintenance; cleaning glass, stirring substrate, etc. and noticed a bunch of these tiny worms with long antane climbing the glass. I've seen about 10 of them just this afternoon but never noticed anything like them before. Theyre about the width of a small pod but much longer. I have a pygmy angel that tends to keep my pod population down, but he doesn't seem interested in these guys.
I've looked through the hitchhiker guide but wasn't able to find anything similar. Just wondering if these are something to worry about or just part of normal beneficial microfauna.

Thanks!

Centre of the image. (Had to use my finger to get the camera to focus on it)... The 2 antennae on the head seem to just flow in the current as the crawl along.
