I need an Identification.



What are these things? They just started appearing all over my live rock. They build some sort tunnel and they stick their bristles out and whenever a fish approaches they quickly retreat into their ditch. Please help, I need to know what they are and if they are a friendly. Hope the picture is clear enough to identify. I would appreciate any information. Thank You.

P.S Sorry if I posted in the wrong category.

Tiny red crowned feather duster worms. The white are their calcium based tubes.

Thanks a lot for the ID SDguy. Are red crowned feather duster worms good for the tank, I mean will they hurt anything?

They are harmless. At worst, if they begin to multiply too much, they can be annoying to try to clean off pumps, pipes, sumps, etc.
