ID worm, Good or Bad.


Well I have come across this worm in my tank and I would like to know if this is a bad one or not. If it is bad what is the recommended way to remove it? Its white and in the center of the picture.

Thanks

Mike

Hard to tell if it's a spaghetti worm or a spionid worm. In either case, they are OK.
