Help with indicating pests

[sam2216]

What are these worms on the glass? They are so many of them around the sand bed and glass.

What is that white bulge on my torch coral?

And what is that white worm looking thing on the third picture, it looks like a worm but it doesn’t move?

Thanks!

I’d turn off the blue and redo under white.
These pics show nothing.
Sorry

Yea

 

[sam2216]

I’ll do it in white

Hopefully this helps:

Those pics are great.
The bulge on the torch is bubble algae. Manual removal for now and hope they don't pop up anywhere else.
Edit, the other thing on the torch looks like a sponge.

@ISpeakForTheSeas will have all the answers here. But I'm guessing the worm on the glass is a Medusa or spaghetti worm?

From all the google pictures, I think it’s a spaghetti worm.

@Rjukan nailed it - the only thing to add (using the blue pic since the white uploaded differently and I can't quote it) is that this thing is probably a feather duster worm tube; if it spirals at the base, then it may be a vermetid snail tube as well, but you can tell which it is by what comes out the top - feather dusters send out a feather crown to feed while vermetids send out a mucus net.

Feather dusters are fine; vermetids are generally considered pests.

its vermetids since its spiraled, doesn't have a feather crown on the top to feed, and pictures seem like it. thanks for the info!
