Woke up to these a couple days ago some one told me they was Copepods but all the pictures I see of Copepods don't look like what I have. Tank is 3 months old have a phantom clown snow flake clown, mandarin goby( he eats frozen don't worry) and a diamond goby. Plus a hammer coral.

They look like tiny tiny bristleworms, but not sure if they lay eggs. Well see if the squad got a good answer for you.

Those are probably Dorvilleidae. Something like the Ophryotrocha sp.

They look like the feather duster larvae, if they are you will start to see them form tubes soon enough.

If it were the worms, it would be their eggs. Here are pics of the eggs.... https://www.researchgate.net/figure...p-A-Fertilized-eggs-with-polar-bodies-p-below

This has a couple good pics of the worms in it. A good read.
