Default Yellow worms

Hello Wendell. Sam W. gave me some of those when I purchased some soft coral frags. He told me they were spaghetti worms and were good for the sand bed. The ones I have are always on the go and yes they do eat. They have not spread from there original location.

I just recent aquired these in my tank - didn't buy them, probably came with a trade or purchase of something else. In my experiance they spread quite rapidly. They detach themselves and just float around the water column until they run into something.

Previous to this I only had the reddish brown ones that buried themselves in the sand.
