Hello hive mind,

I've recently noticed a large outbreak of these red worms in the substrate and around the lower part of my tank, I think they might be a variation of spaghetti worm but cannot be sure, can anyone help me out and confirm please?

Apologies for the shoddy pictures, my cam couldn't focus in on some of the more prominent ones on the glass

Really hard to tell but I do agree they look a little like spaghetti worms

Thanks for the replies, I think they might be, there are no visible bristles and the worms are hairline thin and red.
