Good worm/Bad worm?

[Big Dave]

Ok, so I was starring into my tank last night... I know, NO WAY! And on the rocks I saw some tiny worms. They were all about a half cm long, colored white. I tried to get a pick but couldn't see anything. Does anyone know if these are part of the normal life of a tank, or maybe are these guys bad? Let me know if anybody has seen these in their tank or know what kind of worms I have.

Thanks

I will keep trying to get a pic that you can see these in and post it. Anyone else have ideas? I assume these are good, but you know what happens when you assume....

Dave,
Many times these tiny worms are larval stages of something else or actually "baby" bristleworms. Most of them will probably be consumed by something else. I wouldn't be concerned about them.
