Worm ID?
I believe these guys came in one of the last pieces of live rock I got. Good, bad, or indifferent? I do not add chemical treatments to my tank so if these guys are bad is there something that will eat them?

if they retract into a single area, they are more than likely spaghetti worms. |

spotted mandarin fish eat flatworms. I'm not sure but some wrasses may eat them too.
I have spaghetti worms all over my rocks and sand.
