Hi All...

Last night as I was looking at my tank I saw this small white worm looking thing wiggling around like crazy in the water. It's only about 1/2 inch long. This was the first time I've seen it. It just goes crazy racing around the tank. Any ideas on what it might be?

It's way to wiggly and small to get a picture of.
 
my guess would be a paramecium aka baby bristle worm. was it swimming through the water like a living corksrew?
 
i have a a few of these that come out at night. should i try to remove them? we are planning on some sort of pseudochromis for our tank and i heard they eat these worms.
