there are 2- white, 1/16" thin, probably 11"-14" long, worms on my overflow wall? both scrunched into little loops to the left then right in a snake like pattern.....

The snake-like pattern really sounds more like a mollusc egg string. Are the "worms" made up of little white spots if you look closely at them? A picture would certainly help!

Snake like & not moving..... sure sounds like eggs! Take a look at the egg string photo on Melev's Reef page http://melevsreef.com/id/snails.html

Another possibility is a tube but unfortunately, without a picture there's no way to really know.

Snake like & not moving..... sure sounds like an egg string with poorly developed eggs. Take a look at the egg string photo on Melev's Reef page http://melevsreef.com/id/snails.html
