i am cycling a 75 gallon tank with live rock and i noticed 2 worms in the tank they went back in their holes pretty quick though. 1 was about an 1" long, white, round with a bright white dot on it's head, and the other was also white, round but had a white collor on it like a red worm has on it an about and about 1 1/2" i didn't see any bristles or anything like that on them just wondering if any body has an idea what these could be

Hi Karla,

I have no idea what kind of worms you have, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) types of worms that can show up in our tanks, I believe DrRon says 99% of them are harmless. So enjoy watching them ( when you get a chance to see them) and know they are now just part of your natural filtration system, helping to break down detrious.

Keep looking there are more in there, plus even stranger things :)
