Help to identify
Hello, i've had this tank up for about 4.5 months now and i've been noticing a lot of these things popping up around the tank on the glass and live rock.
  Can anyone tell me what they are and what they do. Thank you. |

Spirorbid Worms.
Small harmless feather duster worms. If anything they provide a food source and have beneficial filtering qualities.

I am afraid that I dont remember the name of them, its something like "spiroid worm". What I DO know is that they are good for your tank and also indicate that you have good water quality. They are filter feeders.
