Whats this purple stringy thing...that disappears

[zcapogna]

Hello all. After a little tank maintenance today that included blowing sand around, this little guy appeared. Has since disappeared. Tank does have corals but they appear aiptasia-free.

Any guesses?

That's great if harmless and only place I've seen them.

Think they road in on the coral plugs? Tank was setup with dead rock and dead sand.

Btw, thanks for quick reply!

They're just a common hitch-hiker, adds to tank biodiversity. You could get a butterfly to take care of them if you find they start multiplying too fast.

They are hair worms, not spaghetti worms.
