    I have live rock in my tank and it has worms, 2 kinds at least. I have spotted them mainly at night when the lights are off. I have at least one bristle but the ones that are concerning me the most are different kind. They have burrowed all over and are eating anything and everything.
    I don't know what kind they are our how to kill them, they are ugly and I want them dead. I have attempted to catch them at night (with tweezers and a flash light) when they stick their heads out, but it is hard because they are fast. They have a mouth at one end and are fleshy, pinkish to brown, and skinny, varying in size from a 1cm to at least 5-6cm (they can really stretch). Also, they are only living in the rocks as well that I can tell.

    If anyone knows the exact name of these little spawns of the devil & how to kill them please help. I have looked them up online and some say that traps work for the bristle but what about the other worms? Thanks!
