These "worms" are growing like crazy in my chaeto refugium.

I read thru the top few pages and the sticky but I dont see anything like this.
Sorry if its super obvious. My best guess is spaghetti worm?

That’s a really clear video! They are Medusa worms. Here’s a screenshot for those who can’t see the video. 2C7C7002-5050-4688-A16A-DD30DDC3B150.png

Sadly, medusa is a filter feeder. And if they die can release a lot of toxins. Keep carbon going if you keep them.

I have had these before in an 80gallon system, and never had an issue with them. GL!
