Weird worms in my tank

[mirbymom]

Hello,
I have some weird worms in my tank. They are brown and growing There are feathery appendages around their mouth. They are not bristle worms. I know what thos look like. There are no spines on these worms. They kind of remined me of earthworms. They seem to eat brown diatoms for now. they came on my live rock. Can anyone help me identify them I can't find any references to such worms any where online. Does nay one know a good website or resource on the taxonomy of salt water aquarium inverts like econoderms?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Michelle, They are going to need a decent pic of these worms for an ID. I see your new, so not familiar how to do this . It's really easy. It's Like posting a pic from your pc to an e/m . I like all the worm Id posts. we get to see all kinds of cool marine life.

Thank you so much I’ve read quite a lot about these medusa worms which are apparently really sea cucumbers completely fascinating stuff although I don’t think I will keep them in my tank because of the risk of poisoning some of my fish my engineer gobies pay far too much attention to these sea cucumbers for my liking
