Your picture shows typical bristle worms, which are scavengers. If
you are growing like crazy that means for some reason there is a lot
of food for them to scavenge on. If you do not want to so many, cut
back on your feeding so they do not have so much food. Now if you get
rid of them somehow (some fish will eat them as well as a few
different crabs/shrimp), then you have to figure out another way to
deal with the exsess food without allowing it to just rot and polute
your water.


Personally I would say don't worry about them, but if you do have lots
of them, cut back on your feeding.

They have multiplied like crazy, and they are starting to pester me.

I thought these were beneficial worms? Whatever they are, and what
should I do.

TIA,
