creature IDs

I've had my SW tank set up for about a year. A few weeks ago I started
noticing white worm-like organisms (?) on my live rock. They don't appear
to move. They vary from about 1/8 to one inch in length.

Also, on the tank glass, small white spiral-shaped creatures about 1/16"
inch and smaller.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The spiral shaped creatures are Spirorbid worms. Filter feeds, reef safe. You
can scrape them off the viewing panels, if you like.

The worms I can't help you with. I've got some myself, but I've never made the
effort to get their name.

Agent.

If you set your news reader to see all of the header info it will tell
you what each letter is sent with.

Agent was one of the first. I don't even know if they make it anymore
but they used to have a freeware called FreeAgent.

I checked out your pic; kinda hard to get a sense of scale there, but
proportionally my worms (?) are shorter and thicker.
