Reposting from reef discussion was told to post here.


They are all in one of my two overflows, all on the bottom. Seem to have formed from all the excess food that got trapped and settled in there. Should I concern myself with them, let them eat, eradicate them? Thanks

Some kind of polychaete. I wouldn't be concerned about them. Their population will regulate itself with the availability of food.

They didn't seem to be bothering anything and just kept to themselves at the bottom of the overflow but I have a little goby hiding in there as well and needed to scoop him out, so I cleaned out the overflow while I was at it, was able to get 90% of them, the rest I swooshed around and had them filter through into the filter padding then threw it out and replaced it. I noticed a few shooting through my returns, which quickly got eaten by my sgt majors
