Hi,

I’m trying to identify a tiny worm. I added some live copepods and 1hour later my tank is covered in thousands of these tiny white worms. I’ve tried to get some good microscope pictures so maybe you could help me!
Thanks!

I think it might be a pygospio elegans (spionidae worm). Hopefully it wont infest my tank and are just eaten by my fish haha.
