Does Anything Eat Spaghetti Worms?

[LeanneP]

I have these long skinny white worms that come out of a little white tube that I think are spaghetti worms. I am starting to have an overabundance of them. Does anyone know if something will eat them?

Do yours come out during the day? Generally they only come out at night to feed, and they typically are not an issue in a reef. I have quite a few of them yet none of my fish or inverts seem to care to eat them. I consider them part of my clean up crew as they capture waste particles in the water and sandbed.

filefish does but they eat paly and zoe skirts too

Sound more like vermetid snails or digitata hydroids

I am pretty sure they are spaghetti worms. I wouldn't be too concerned about them except they are starting to be everywhere and the tubules are growing on my corals. I am cutting back on my feeding as I feed a little heavy and I was wondering if that is part of the problem. They are out during the day and are more active at feeding. I'm not stressing about them, just wanting to make sure to keep them in check.
