Yours aren't as problematic as the Convolutriloba and often can be found in a lot of people's tank at some time... but they aren't the "clear ones".

I assume they usually hang on in the sand. I have a yellow wrasse, but haven't noticed him eating these. I do see him picking at the rocks though. Assuming he's eating pods.
