little white worms

[Stephane Cote]

hey guys,

did a spot check tonight and I'm finding something new. maybe i never noticed them until now. i have a few little white worms twisting around on themselves in my water. they seem to be hanging more or less on the sides of the aquarium

it's about 1-2 millimeters and swims very fast and seems to twirl on itself as for swimming (in a spiral). here is a picture i took zoomed in. (best i could.. small little guy) is it a baby bristle worm? its in the centre of the pic.

thx

Steph

Hmmm... It looks like it could be a Bristle Worm. I'll leave it to someone with more experience to figure out. I don't want to get it wrong.

honestly thats what it does look like as well. it's odd cause they are white. and they swim around. i just though worms were more crawlers....

Polychaete epitokes will swim around sometimes.

Thx for the info. So as far as I'm reading.. not harmful and I'm reading "this action is often synchronized with moon cycles" from wiki. makes perfect sense because i have my illumine on moon cycles

Thx for the help!
