Little Beasties in Filter
Can anyone throw any light on what these are. I took 4 out of the filter but never seen them before.

Thanks. Now the curiosity question kicks in. From where? Nothing has been added to the tank for well over a year?

This.
Most only venture out at night looking for decaying matter to munch on. So, if you want to be really freaked out by your tank, get up at 2 AM, leave the room lights off, and use a red lens on a flashlight to look at your aquarium. Kevin

Tiny, likely epitokes which are a reproductive phase of polychaete worms. As mentioned above, check your tank out at 0'dark thirty. Epitokes tend to swim/swirl in the water column while larger bristleworms will be scouring the sand and rcome.
