I was looking at my tank after the lights went off and noticed these red worm like things that are in the sand bed. They have very fine red whiskers type things sticking through the sand into the water. I tried to get some good photos of these. I don't recall seeing them when the lights are on.

There are all kinds of things that live in your tank.
Many of these creatures are nocturnal and only come out at night.

They look like bristle worms. Don't stick your bare hands in if it is!

Sweet thank you! That's what I was thinking but there is so much I don't know in this hobby.
