i seem to be having a breakout of what i guess are spaghetti worms in my sand bed , sand tubes with 2 whiteish clear arms coming out of them. can get a good picture sorry. i know people say that they dont bug corals but they seem to be bugging everything i have in the sand bed. what can i do with them other then picking them out of the sand?

Picking them out would be your best option.
Do you have a fuge that you can re-home them to?
Having too many of them is likely due to having too much uneaten food deposited on your sand-bed. You might want to cut back a little on the amount you are feeding. The less food you have available for them, the less they will multiply.

spaghetti worms are really not tubes. They are an actual worm with multiple hair like arms coming out of them. So if it is a tube, it may not be a spaghetti worm.
Pictures would help it is hard to believe that the feather dusters or small tube worms are bothering anything.[/QUOTE]

If you look at the hermit up in from its standing on one of the tubes.

Vermitid snails for sure. I try to cut their tubes back. There are a few natural ways to rid or control them.
