Red/Orange worm

[leotigris]

Hello Reefers,

I’ve noticed these red / orange worms in my tank. Seem to have hair or bristles. Can anyone identify? Good or bad?

Thanks in advance.

I think that's a micro- featherduster. Does the top get fluffy and then pull back in when you touch it?

I think it's a spaghetti worm and is a good critter.

Spaghetti worm. These are somewhat uncommon in hobby tanks (and the term is often incorrectly applied to hair worms, although both are good hitchhikers). Did you add any ocean live rock to the tank?

I added some ocean live rock when the tank was setup just over 2 years ago. Only started noticing these worms recently, there was a larger one which I can’t find at the moment.
