[Jesse32]

[AbsoluteFaye]

A lot of people freak out over worms without realizing they are good for the tank.

spaghetti worms they are totally harmless, just a lil' creepy! A harmless detrovore and a great addition to your clean up crew.

 

[Jesse32]

I actually have another one I've seen so I should just let then go?

 

[AbsoluteFaye]

Yeah they don't do any harm and are pretty neat. Mines bright yellow.
