So much going on here, firstly there is a white milky/cloudy area under some of my rock work. Not sure what it is? Second those tentacles are growing in clumps and are spread across ever inch of my sanded and most of the rock. Can anyone ID either? Thanks.

These worms are harmless and eat uneaten food and detritus. This is what they look like out of the sand

I got a bunch in some live mud a few months ago and they're probably my favorite cleanup crew

Awesome thank you! Recently did a month long blackout due to algae taking over so it makes sense there is probably tons of nutrients in the water
