spaghetti worms

[karels]

Can my tank be considered over run by these Lil guys or is more better???.?

They are beneficial detrivores. Their population is regulated by the availability of food. If you are a heavy feeder you'll have more worms.

They aren't likely to be a problem. If you majorly overfeed, you may end up with an infestation, but if you're feeding at a fairly normal level they're harmless. Even an infestation is only a problem visually, aside from the fact that their feelers can sometimes bother corals.

I agree with the others. Their population will be regulated by the amount of food available.
I had them in several small tanks with Dwarf Seahorses. With all the feeding I did they never became a problem.

Give me a few months and I may ask to purchase some from you for an upcoming DSH tank.
