rockryno Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 15 days into my new tank ive found small (1/2" - 1") red stringy worm looking things in the sand along the glass. looks like they have red feelers that extend to the surface of the sand and wave around. what are they? are they ok?

SmittyCoco Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 A pic would help. Maybe baby bristle worms? Link to comment

revaltion131 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 normal, they are a good thing. +1 Sounds like a variation of spaghetti worm, which is usually harmless. Link to comment
robb01 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I agree, nothing to worry about. By having a look at the pic, it isn't much of a deal i guess Link to comment
