I have had an explosion of little white worms in my tank. My fish are not eating them, the fish store I purchased the fish at said they would. The worms are about one to three millimeters, they are always curled up, they reside on the glass and rocks, and never seem to move. I have no idea what they are. Anybody know how to help?

Any pics? I guess in middle of cycling?

I am completely unfamiliar with saltwater tanks.

But that sounds like planaria. Do they occur in saltwater tanks too? I had them in my small freshwater tank for about a week; when I lightened up on feeding my fish, and took a little better care to clean up my substrate, they disappeared.

Possibility but color should be brownish/reddish not white and should be larger than 3 mm if were Red planaria commonly seen in reef.

The worms are too small to photograph. Like I said they are always curled in a spiral and do NOT appear to move at all.
