    ok I circled all the worms in the pictures, fist is what I now believe are spaghetti worms(good or bad?) second is a little critter I found in the sand beside the glass and also can ID very small I think maybe a baby bristle worm?(doesnt seem to want to come out all the way) third is a thicker white-ish clear worm like thing I have two of them that I can see, its out of the rock wiggling but hasnt come out the whole way yet(got nothing on this one, so and ID and a good or bad)if bad how do I get rid of these thing, I have a few of what Im calling a spaghetti worm(not a few tenticles, a few groups of tenticles in different places)

    sand is like 2 inches deep, is that to much, i read on here that over time it slowly gets broken down, also read that you should have 1.5-2 inches, it looks really deep in that picture, I could take some out if it will be a problem

    yeah that looks like it, accept it is in the rock and not the sand, that things probably like 2-3 inches total length then judging by the dimensions it the pics, well as long as its harmless its just another cool part of having a reef tank. amazing how all this stuff kinda popped up in one day, cause I have been watching it like crazy and hadnt seen them
