Strange worms

[littlehermit0]

Hi, I've recently noticed a lot of tiny spiky worms, today they appeared bigger. Did my bristle worms breed or... Maybe those tapeworms bobbitworms spirorbid worms things... Too much worm names. Taking a picture or video was hard due to the speed and size of this thing... There's about 5 of them in my tank, they look like brittle star legs

Video is to out of focused to see the head or details for me. May be a Polychaete after digging through the forums.

There are different species. Someone should be able to verify better than I can.

Yeah, a lot of worms look like that

The one pictured is a dorvilleidae worm - they are completely harmless detritus eaters. Most of the worms you see are harmless, with the exception of a few easily recognizable types.

Thank God... Not about them being good but imagine that would be bad and catching all of them with that speed
So they're kind of like bristle worms

Like the bristle worms, my mom screams when she sees them, they may look very creepy but as Long as they clean up a lot of food I keep them, except if it's a very red fireworm like thing...
