Hi all, I have a problem in my marine tank, well 2 problems first is a huge outbreak of green hair algea which is due to sun light, but the other one is, it got infested with little red worms with tentacls has anyone seen these things?

any help will be appreciated

those little worms sound like bristle worms. i got a bunch from some recycled live rock i accuired from someone who was tearing down their tank. a local marine dealer i know told me they are not a problem and quite harmless. he has an outstanding reputation from any one have talked to, even other marine dealers recomended him to me. i think that says alot. he told me if they bother me there are fish that will prey on them. so far i think they just add more life to my little reef. hope that helps.

thanks, I found out they are spaghetti worms, and i tried to take them out but it's impossable, so i left them in the tank since aparently they are not predatory.
