Few questions here.
I have posted here before and was in need of help again. I have a 20 gallon saltwater tank. In the tank is 3 pieces of live rock, a few crabs, a horseshoe crab, 2 damsels, a tomato clown, rosebud anemone, a wrasse, and a foxface. The past few days I have noticed something in my sand. It looks like worms almost. They are in patches and are light green with dots on them. They move like worms would. Also I have a wierd looking algea on my rock. It almost looks like mold. Any ideas? Should I be concerned? Any cures? Thanks.

Ok. It is some sort of worm. I pulled one out. It is a dark body with long hairy looking strands on it. Any ideas?

Sorry. the pics are large, but I wanted to show the problem. The hair looking things are the worms. The last pic is a bit of the moldy looking substance on the rock.

I can pull one out of the sand. I was just in a hurry this morning. Let me know if I need to. I will post a pic of one out of the sand. I can't find anything on this. I have searched the web for worms and parasites. Nothing matches this image. There are about 6 in the tank.

Ok I had someone on another site say they were spaghetti worms. They did not say if they were bad or good. I have no idea what to do. Would you leave them?
