White worm?

[pabloclownfish]

I have these white worms that appear recently and have no clue that they could be. They appear right after I introduced tiger copopods and feed the zooplankton. I have a hammer coral, 2 clownfish and 2 hermits. I have a 13 galon tank and I'm worried they are a pest... I have clean and dip the coral before it was introduced... what should I do? They are not baby copopods...

It's hard to tell from the pictures but I would not worry about them. Likely they will be eaten by your fish or will go away on their own once they run out of food.

Sounds good but there's like hundreds, will they grow any bigger? Will they harm the coral?

I expect it it just a bloom of some critter that came in with the pods or phyto and will disappear soon.
