Look closly and touch them with a pencil.
if they sprout little white spears they are bristleworms.
If you have a wrasse they might find them tasty. But most fish will not eat them
due to the firberglass like spears. They will clean up for you in a small way, and grow quite
large eventually. I would get rid of them before they have babies ! Some time s they have a huge litter and can
cause devastating problems if left un checked.

I generally find that bristleworms are a great detrivores and have never had a problem with them in my tanks. You can get a population explosion if you are overfeeding.

Yep - I've got quite a few in my refugium. But I have very few in my main display - my Six Line Wrasse sees to that!

I agree with Carmie - don't overfeed and they should not become a problem.
