Hello

Ive got 100¹s of these things all of a sudden all over my glass on the tank

http://www.smudgeme.com/bug/index.html

If you look under a magnifying glass they have small black choppers and seem
to be mowing the glass!

Anyway, should I worry.. What eats them etc etc

Thanks in advance

I know what a bristleworm looks like and there not them... The bristle worms
I have all hide and these worms are all over the glass all day long... And
they have choppers underneath them
