Hello! This isn’t exactly new I saw the hair like feelers a while ago but now for some reason it has really moved around the tank a lot. I’m pretty positive it’s a Spaghetti worm but I want any other opinions as I’m not too versed in hitchhikers. Thank you in advance!

I always struggle to tell where all the tentacles are coming from in pics with these guys:
Looks like either a hair worm (Cirratulidae) or a spaghetti worm (Terebellide) to me - if the tentacles all come out from a single point, it’s a spaghetti worm; if they come out from basically all over the body it’s a hair worm.

Thank you so much with some more research it’s definitely a hair worm. That would be spot on, I was definitely concerned at first but they seem harmless just rather unsightly lol
