I noticed that I have some wormlike white hair on my rocks and sand. its about half inch white hairlike. are these worms bad?

Do you have a pic? They could be bristle worms, which I consider a great part of my clean up crew.

See them in this page:

Sounds like spaghetti worms and would be harmless.

White and hair like sounds like a spaghetti worm to me also.

ohh noo so if it is a spaghetti worm (I will try to take a picture if I find one)what should I do? any fish/shrimp for it?
the pic below(the reddish hair like inside the sand) its not what I was talking about but I think this is a blister worm:

I would leave it be. These types of worms are beneficial to your system as busy little janitors, cleaning up detrius from the sand and rocks.
